Limited Scope Cases for
Pro Bono Attorneys
Bond Cases
PAIR's Detention Team is currently looking for pro bono counsel for the following bond cases. A bond case involves approximately 6-10 hours of time.
Pro bono counsel will meet with the detainee in-person or by video, prepare a short client declaration, prepare the bond motion, and gather supporting documents.
Attorneys will also attend a video court hearing. If bond is granted, attorneys will assist with the logistics surrounding the detainee’s release. All limited scope pro bono attorneys will be directly matched with a PAIR staff attorney mentor.

Intakers Needed at Detention Centers
Join PAIR's Detention Team on a visit to the Plymouth County Correctional Facility or the Wyatt Detention Facility (Central Falls, RI) to help support presentations and intakes with ICE detainees. Each visit is 3-4 hours long.
We visit Plymouth biweekly, and Wyatt monthly, typically on a Wednesday afternoon. PAIR is looking for pro bono counsel who can help conduct intakes in the jail units, and more information/training will be given to all volunteer attorneys. We also ask that participants please be able to arrange their own transportation to the jails.
If you are interested in participating in any of these matters, please email me at [email protected].
