The following matters are some of the cases which have survived the screening process mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and in which pro se plaintiffs have requested the appointment of counsel. Although motions for appointment of counsel have been denied without prejudice, the Court will still consider the appointment of counsel if a member of the bar is willing to provide pro bono representation in the case. You do not need to be on the Court’s Civil Pro Bono Panel to provide representation in any of these cases.
If you are interested in providing pro bono representation in any of these cases please contact the Court’s Pro Bono Coordinator Michelle Badaruddin at michelle_badaruddin@mtd.uscourts.gov or 406-542-7277.
