Worcester Probate and Family Court Lawyer for the Day Program
May 4, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Wednesday, happening 9 times
Community Legal Aid (CLA) and the Worcester County Bar Association (WCBA) sponsor this Probate and Family Court Lawyer for the Day Project in partnership with the Worcester Court Services Center.
The project aims to connect financially eligible litigants with volunteer attorneys to provide brief counsel and advice and/or drafting assistance in family law matters. This program uses a hybrid model, offering a simultaneous in-person and virtual option for litigants to access a lawyer. The program takes place at the Worcester Court Service Center, 225 Main St., 1st Floor, Worcester, MA 01608 every Wednesday morning between 9AM -12 PM. A laptop is provided on-site to offer Zoom sessions to remote participants. Designed with convenience in mind, volunteers will sign up to appear for a one-time counsel and advice session for pro se litigants navigating the divorce process during one of our weekly sessions. The program will provide increased access to legal services for low income litigants in a remote environment.
