CLINIC
At 10:15 a.m., immediately following the seminar, there will be a Pro Se Brief Advice Clinic sponsored by Legal Aid. All clients have been pre-screened by Legal Aid. Legal Aids malpractice insurance covers volunteer attorney work. Volunteer attorneys will be assisting folks completing divorce forms. All the courtrooms will be available for the volunteer attorneys use. The forms will be filed that day.
The need for volunteer attorneys to assist these families is overwhelming. Keep in mind attorneys receive one hour of CLE credit for every six hours of pro bono service, up to a maximum of 6 credit hours for service performed during a biennial compliance period. The pro bono service must be verified by a recognized organization such as Legal Aid. This clinic is a win-win. The thanks you receive from these folks are genuine.
