Access to Justice Initiative Pop-Up Clinic on June 16th at Rocksprings Park & Community Center
Friday, June 15th, 2018
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 next 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 Access to Justice Pop-Up Clinic from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 16, 2018 at the Rocksprings Park and Community Center at 291 Henderson Extension, along with other judges. 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. Held monthly since December 2017, the next pop-up clinic will take place in September at a date and time to be announced.
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.
