IVLP recruits attorneys from local communities who volunteer their time and expertise to assist those in need.Participants of a legal clinic are given the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a pro bono (free) attorney, who assist with legal direction on their issue and give appropriate referrals to help resolve the legal matter. IVLP collaborates with community senior centers, homeless shelters, Veterans' service providers and other agencies to deploy volunteers who provide advice and consultation in various locations throughout Idaho.
