Join the ALRP Attorney Panel


Since 1983, ALRP's volunteer attorneys have been providing much-needed legal services to the HIV/AIDS community.

Our volunteer attorneys often describe their work for ALRP as the most rewarding of their careers. Come see why!

We need attorneys in a wide variety of areas of law and throughout the Bay Area. We are always in special need of bilingual attorneys and attorneys of color. 

As an ALRP volunteer attorney, you will have access to:

  • Experienced ALRP volunteer attorneys available to serve as your mentors

  • Free MCLE trainings by and for ALRP volunteers. For detailed infomation on upcoming MCLE trainings see our list of upcoming events. 

  • Useful training materials, including our recently revised AIDS Law Manual, and sample legal forms in a wide variety of areas

  • A panel of over 600 attorneys throughout the Bay Area who have
    demonstrated their commitment to helping those with HIV/AIDS

  •  Malpractice insurance to cover all clients you accept through ALRP
