Legal Services Organizations

Many jurisdictions authorize limited practice for lawyers employed by, or associated with, qualifying legal services organizations. These licenses often support low-income clients and may overlap with pro bono/emeritus rules. Confirm whether the path is employer-based, time-limited, or tied to supervised practice.
