2.
LEGAL ADVICE CLINIC (LAC)

CLASSIC administers a Legal Advice Clinic, that allows clients who have legal issues in the areas of criminal, family, civil, or employment law to speak to a practicing lawyer for a half-hour appointment.  These appointments are to assist people who do not have legal counsel, and who are self-represented.  The appointments run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and  5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
