About this Office
The Bureau is an entirely student-run non-profit law firm currently composed of approximately 40 second and third year Harvard Law School students who provide free civil legal services to a diverse population of low-income clients in the Greater Boston area. The Bureau specializes in four major areas of practice: housing law, including evictions from public and private apartments; family law, including divorce, child custody, paternity, visitation, and support issues; government benefits law, including appeals of the denial or termination of welfare, food stamps, unemployment, or social security disability benefits; and fair wage law, including nonpayment or underpayment of wages. Because the Bureau is student-run, students with take the lead in exploring new potential practice areas. Bureau members are encouraged to try to improve the organization's work areas to better serve client needs.
