Mentoring
Experienced attorneys are available to provide support and mentoring on cases accepted through our program. All Children’s Attorneys Project (CAP) volunteers are assigned a staff attorney mentor. In the event your assigned mentor is unavailable, we have a dedicated CAP Pro Bono Liaison who is able to assist you with questions and connect you with resources. Similarly, a panel of veteran family law practitioners is available to answer questions and provide guidance to volunteers new to family law practice.
Malpractice Insurance
Volunteer attorneys are covered by Legal Aid Center’s malpractice insurance. It serves as the primary insurer.
Pleadings and Forms Bank
Sample pleadings, forms, training materials, and other general items of interest are available to all volunteers with an open pro bono case accepted through one of our programs.

Fee Waivers
In each of our pro bono cases involving state court actions, our clients are eligible for waivers of filing fees. By filing a Statement of Legal Aid Representation (SOLA), which we prepare and provide, clients approved for our services are entitled to defend their action without costs.
Publication: If your case requires publication, Nevada Legal News will waive the publication fees pursuant to NRS 12.015. When you contact Nevada Legal News, present them with a copy of the filed SOLA. The Sheriff’s office will complete service at no charge once the SOLA has been filed. The telephone number for the Civil Sheriff’s office is 702-455-5400.
