We're looking for volunteer attorneys to help provide counsel and advice on simple, uncontested family law matters. The clinic will be held on the third Wednesday of each month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Woodmere Branch of the Library.

Our first session is this Wednesday, August 20th!

Can't make it this week? We also need volunteers for these upcoming dates:

September 17
October 15
