The Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS) has launched its new Special Education Project, aimed at supporting Maryland students with disabilities and their families. This initiative provides essential legal guidance on IEPs (Individualized Education Programs), school discipline, and other education-related legal matters.

The project has already gained recognition, having been featured in The AFRO and The Daily Record, both of which highlighted MVLS’s commitment to increasing access to legal resources for families navigating the special education system in Maryland.

MVLS is currently recruiting qualified professionals to join its Special Education Project panel. They are seeking experienced special education advocates, consultants, and attorneys who are passionate about educational equity.

Panel members will:

• Help ensure that students receive necessary special education services
• Play a key role in removing systemic barriers to equitable education
