The Alaska Federal Pro Bono Project actively assists qualified attorneys who wish to work on civil rights cases for incarcerated individuals. The cases that the organization considers and refers fall under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Individuals in these cases must qualify for pro bono assistance, which is determined in part on the location of the incarcerated individual. Potential clients must also file in forma pauperis or prove that they are unable to afford quality litigation services. The Alaska Federal Pro Bono Project then evaluates the likelihood that the case will succeed in court based on available evidence and merits. Finally, individuals must demonstrate an ability to advocate for themselves and aptly communicate the conditions of the case. Those who meet eligibility requirements are then paired with attorneys who are seeking limited opportunities to volunteer their services.
