Access to Justice Virtual Legal Advice Clinic
his year the Memphis Bar Association’s Access to Justice Committee will launch a Virtual Legal Advice Clinic! We are excited to bring this opportunity to our community and hope your firm, legal department, or organization may be interested in sponsoring a Virtual Clinic! You may have participated in the 2nd Saturday Legal Advice Clinic in the past. The Virtual Clinic will be similar in concept, though logistically, it will look quite different. The Clinic will take place via Zoom and focus on one to two legal issues per clinic, accommodating a maximum of 10 clients. The Clinic will take place the 1st Friday of each month. It will offer optional training from 12:00P-1:00P on the day of the clinic, then the clinic will follow from 1:00P-3:00P. As a sponsor, you will commit to having volunteer attorneys participate in the clinic by providing free, legal advice to clinic registrants. Sponsors are expected
30
to cover the 10 client appointments, 5 appointments each hour beginning at 1:00P and 2:00P. If you are interested in sponsoring a month or would like more information, please contact the MBA's Access to Justice Committee, Danielle Woods, at dwoods@bhammlaw.com.
