The Superior Court Judges of the Western Circuit, in partnership with the University of Georgia School of Law and the Western Circuit Bar Association, announce the fifth pop-up clinic in the Access to Justice Initiative. The mission of the Access to Justice Initiative is to provide access to legal services and information for individuals in need of legal assistance who live in the community. 

Superior Court Judge Regina M. Quick will hold the fifth Access to Justice Pop-Up Clinic from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at Living Waters Christian Fellowship at 610 Nellie B. Avenue in Athens, along with Magistrate Court Chief Judge Patricia Barron, Municipal Court Judge Ryan Hope, and Superior Court Judge Eric Norris. Staff from the Probate Court and Georgia Legal Services and faculty and students from the UGA School of Law will also be in attendance. Attendees are encouraged to bring any relevant important papers with them.

Attorneys provide brief individual consultations on topics including family law such as divorce and child support, adoption law, probate law, employment law, criminal law, and landlord-tenant law at the pop-up clinics. A list of legal service/attorney resources will be provided for individuals who may wish to seek further assistance beyond the pop-up clinic. The pop-up clinics will be held one Saturday a month through June from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at various locations around Athens to be announced. The date for the remaining clinics are May 12 and June 16.

Lawyers, legal educators, and staff attorneys from the local courts have committed to volunteering their time for the Access to Justice Initiative. The initiative is an opportunity to help those in need in the community and help provide access to competent legal representation.
