This clinic is one of our three monthly legal aid clinics, currently held virtually. At each clinic, legal professionals and law students interview homeless and/or low-income clients to analyze the facts and issues of their case to determine what should be done to resolve their legal problem. After meeting with a client, we may do any of the following, as appropriate:



provide legal advice on site at the legal clinic;

provide brief services after the clinic;

provide pro se (when you represent yourself without an attorney at a proceeding) coaching and follow-up with the client; and/or

provide extended representation through volunteer and staff attorneys.

Volunteers will most often support clients with needs in one of our core practice areas: housing conditions and eviction defense, criminal record sealing and expungement, Social Security benefits, estate planning, and probate (including guardianship issues). Volunteers are provided with training resources and mentorship from CLADC staff to support their clinic consultations, and if they choose, follow up services to clients. We welcome attorneys or law students who may not have much background in these areas but are eager to learn and apply their skills on behalf of someone in need.
