Lane 1
Meet
A short, no-fee consult with a Nation advocate. The advocate listens, orients you to the Nation's tools, and routes you to the right office or a Match referral. Meetings are held remotely by default. In-person meetings are arranged by geographic region — see in-person meeting locations below.
A meeting request is not representation. No advocate–client relationship is formed until a written engagement is signed under a Match placement.
Lane 2
Match
Long-form representation. We match your matter to a Nation-listed advocate or attorney by subject area, geography, and fee posture (pro bono, low-bono, or paid). The Office of the Chief coordinates the match and the initial engagement letter with the advocate.
Matching does not guarantee acceptance by the advocate. The advocate remains free to decline any matter and must screen for conflicts before agreeing to represent.
Lane 3
Mediate
The Nation's preferred first move whenever both sides are willing. A Nation-listed mediator convenes the parties on Nation-neutral ground — remote by default, in person by geographic region on request (see in-person meeting locations). Nation mediation is confidential and non-binding unless the parties sign a written settlement at its close.
Both parties must consent to mediation. If the other side has not been contacted, the mediator will open a consent request before the first session.
