Classes are held during three sessions: 9:00 a.m., 10:30, and noon. Dozens of volunteer attorneys and legal experts will be on hand to teach the basics of the law and answer general legal questions. More than four hundred people are expected to attend the half-day seminar, which offers classes in more than thirty subjects such as family law, wills and estate planning, criminal law, credit repair, the legal process, and more. The event is free and open to the public.
