Legal Membership

In addition to the hundreds of pro bono cases that the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts program refers every year, the VLA also receives a number of requests for assistance from artists who do not qualify for pro bono services. We offer these fee-based cases to our Legal Members through a separate bi-weekly email.*

Legal members receive discounted access to A&BC events and seminars, as well as recognition on our website.
