The Eleventh Judicial Circuit Pro Bono Committee is once again hosting a Legal Advice Fair in Bloomington. Attorney volunteers are needed to give one-time legal advice concerning family issues, housing disputes, debt concerns and more.
What you WILL be doing:
- Answering questions and providing information to low-income clients on civil legal matters.
- Providing a meaningful service for people with legal needs who cannot afford a lawyer.
- Spending time with local attorneys and other legal professionals.
What you WILL NOT be doing:
- Taking cases or bringing home work.
- Representing clients in court.
- Working on cases that involve a criminal or traffic violation.
This event is also sponsored by State Farm, the McLean County Bar Association, Prairie State Legal Services, the Immigration Project, and McDonald’s. Breakfast is being provided to volunteers and clients at the advice fair courtesy of Millan/Petro McDonald’s.
