How to Get Service
In-person walk-in clinic. Building closed to visitors until sign-in begins.
Sign-in Procedure: during sign-in, people are signed up in order for intake purposes.
Service Procedure: people sign-in for different types of services. People are NOT necessarily taken in for services in the same order they sign-in. For example, if the fifth person to sign-in is the first person to sign-in for family advice, they could be the first person called.
Clinic services fill up quickly due to the high need and limited availability of free legal help. Please be kind, patient, and calm with the volunteer law students and lawyers providing the service. Everyone is doing their best to serve as many people as possible during these much-needed clinics.
