On July 26 and 27, the Connecticut Bar Association (CBA) Pro Bono Committee and Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut held a virtual Free Legal Advice Clinic where 22 volunteer attorneys met with 41 clients over Zoom meetings. Prior to the clinic, 16 volunteer paralegal and law students completed client intake forms and asked follow-up questions to help the attorneys prepare for the meetings and provide the best possible legal advice.
On the days of the clinic, the volunteer attorneys provided free legal guidance to the clients. Most of the client meetings that took place during the clinic covered topics involving family law or landlord/tenant issues.
Thank you to all those who volunteered at this important event that supports the public’s access to legal representation. The CBA’s next Free Legal Advice Clinic will be held on October 25 and 26 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Learn more at ctbar.org/freelegaladviceclinics.
