Most volunteers with the VLP agree to handle cases referrals. These volunteers accept one, two or more
pro bono cases each year. Cases are screened by Prairie State staff and all clients meet Prairie State’s
income eligibility guidelines. Some cases are referred to volunteers for advice only but most cases are
referred to volunteers for more in?depth representation. The areas of the greatest client need are family
law (especially divorce in domestic violence cases), Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases for working clients,
uncontested guardianships for disabled adults and consumer law, including security deposit returns and
debt collection.
The VLP offers malpractice coverage, training and mentoring to help new volunteers with their VLP
cases. Funds are available to cover out of pocket costs such as witness subpoenas and depositions. The
VLP is committed to making the volunteer experience a positive one for both the volunteer attorney and
the VLP client. For more information or to join the VLP, contact Susan Perlman at (847) 662?6925 ext.
