Pros

This is a legal aid that has a wide range of legal expertise. Very flexible work environment (worked both hybrid and remote). Everyone is willing to help and teach you what you need. Very independent work as well. Work/Life balance is great, especially if you are a student.

Cons

Some community activities and events are done in person and some are outside which can get hot but TRLA provides everything you need to be successful.
