Volunteering

Both members and non-members of Lawyers Beyond Borders can apply for volunteer positions through AVI, however it's important to note that there's a large demand for international legal volunteer assignments throughout the Australian legal community.

Currently legal assignments are limited, however with the introduction and support of Lawyers Beyond Borders, we aim to work with our overseas partners to identify new assignments, allowing Australia's legal professionals more opportunities to work with communities on locally-identified projects.
