Solicitor and Barrister Volunteering

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

Our volunteer solicitors and barristers enjoy the My Community Legal Gold Coast (MCL) experience for many reasons, including:

• To give something back
• Helping local battlers
• Networking with local practitioners and law students
• Collaborating with solicitors and barristers in other practice areas

Please ask one of our volunteers what MCL is all about or book an orientation / induction and see for yourself.

 ORIENTATION / INDUCTION

FAQ’s and specific questions are all answered at volunteer induction / orientation.

We encourage local solicitors and barristers to sign up for Membership too.
