Legal Contributors

Contributors are crucial to Mozilla's mission. Due to the sometimes sensitive and complicated nature of legal affairs, it may seem difficult to contribute to Mozilla through the legal team. However, we have a system to match potential contributors with projects that match their skills and commitment level — you don't have to be a lawyer to help out the legal team. Below are quick summaries of the various ways that you can get involved.

If you are interested in contributing, please fill out this quick form and we will be in touch. If you'd like to contribute more generally to Mozilla's mission, please visit the Get Involved page for more information.

Pro Bono Legal Counsel

Are you a practicing lawyer or law professor? Do you have specific legal expertise that you feel can contribute to Mozilla's mission? We can always use outside counsel, especially for our more ambitious projects.

  • Examples of past projects:
    • Mozilla Public License (MPL)
    • Example 2
    • Example 3

Students/Researchers

Our team often needs to do research into various legal topics. If you are a student, experienced researcher, or just someone looking to contribute their time, this could be a great way to contribute and learn something cool in the process.

  • Examples of past projects:
    • Example 1
    • Example 2
    • Example 3

Translators

Mozilla is a global organization that is committed to serving as many communities as possible. However, this commitment requires a lot of work translating all of our documents, websites, and other materials.

  • Examples of past projects:
    • Example 1
    • Example 2
    • Example 3

Developers & Designers

Our team often has projects that require technical expertise to execute — web development, UX design, etc. We are currently in the process of redesigning the legal page, so there are plenty of opportunities to contribute.

  • Examples of past projects:
    • Example 1
    • Example 2
