Information for the Public

UT Law School can provide very limited legal assistance to members of the public.  The UT Law Pro Bono Program does not accept requests for help directly from individuals. When possible, the Pro Bono Program provides information about outside organizations that may be able to assist. Our legal clinics accept only a small number of cases, and no clinic provides advice to persons other than clients.

Some of our clinics accept cases strictly through referrals from non-profit organizations or by court appointment.  Other clinics accept cases in response to requests for assistance from individuals, community groups and other entities.  If you have a legal problem, please review the “Contact Us” tab for the relevant clinic for information on how that clinic accepts cases.

If the relevant clinic does not accept cases in response to requests from the public, or if you have a type of legal problem that is not addressed by any of our clinics, we will not be able to assist you.  You may wish to contact the following organizations for assistance:
