Volunteer Lawyer for the Day Project - Housing

Prospective Volunteer Attorneys | Participating Volunteer Attorneys


The Civil Court of the City of New York and the New York City Bar Association operate the Volunteer Lawyer for the Day (VLFD) Project, which is designed to assist self-represented tenants and landlords appearing in nonpayment cases in the Housing Court’s Resolution Part. The VLFD project is an unbundled legal services program where the representation begins and ends the same day.

There are no client calls, filing deadlines, motion practice or responsibilities beyond the allotted day, which is scheduled in advance at your convenience.

If you are an attorney interested in the VLFD project, learn more about how it works and how you can earn nine free CLE credits for your service.

If you are a participant in the project, view calendars, schedule your services or submit a volunteer service affirmation.
