The Sugar Law Center is a national, nonprofit organization providing legal services to and advocacy for working people and their communities. Our work depends on the generosity and dedication of people like you who share our commitments. In the face of increasing enrichment of the wealthy and impoverishment of working people, we ask you to contribute your time, energy and if possible your money, so we can continue doing this important and unique work.

Internships: The Sugar Law Center provides legal internships for law students throughout the year. We strive to offer a highly educational and rewarding experience. We accept resumes year-round generally have between 2 and 6 interns at any given time. See our Interns page for comments on their experience by prior interns.

Cooperating Attorneys: We are involved in direct litigation on behalf of dislocated workers, other working people and community groups throughout the country. We work with cooperating counsel on many cases, and refer clients to attorneys when we are unable to take their cases ourselves.

Volunteers: We can use volunteers for a variety of projects, ranging from a few hours to an ongoing commitment; from envelope stuffing to expert consultation on technology, public relations and other aspects of our operations. Of course, we are always in need of volunteer attorney time.

In-kind Donations: We are especially in need of work station computers and monitors. We can also use a shredder and other equipment and supplies.

Payroll Deductions: The Sugar Law Center participates in the Michigan State Employees Combined Campaign through Community Shares of Michigan.

For more information on any of these opportunities, please call the Law Center at (313) 993-4505 or email us.
