Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCR) is a nonprofit law firm founded in 1968 that works to advance, protect and promote the legal rights of communities of color, low income persons, immigrants, refugees, and other historically disadvantaged groups. Their offices are close to the Embarcadero Bart station in San Francisco.

Volunteer Paralegals are needed to perform Intake Interviews at their office for the Immigration Justice Program. After the interview, an intake memorandum summarizing the interview will be completed and submitted to an LCCR staff attorney for review. This is an exciting opportunity to hone your interview and critical thinking skills while volunteering to support a well know civil rights organization.

LCCR asks that the volunteer commit to either a full day, or a minimum of four hours on Fridays. Office hours are 9 - 5 pm. Training will be provided. The ideal candidate will be able to commit to at least two Friday days a month and volunteers must commit to performing the Intake duties at least 6 times.
