Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA)

Voluntee Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) "... delivers pro bono and low cost legal services and information to members of the arts community each year. Access to VLA’s pro bono legal services is available to low-income artists and nonprofit arts organizations, but many other programs are more widely available to the entire arts community.” Unfortunately, not every state nor every country has an organization. Of those that do, the services offered vary considerably. They are:
