Students will assist attorney volunteers at the Austin Bar's Veterans Legal Advice Clinic. Students will assist with check-in and client intake, and may shadow attorney volunteers as they provide brief legal advice related to a variety of legal issues affecting veterans, including divorce; child support and custody; consumer and contract issues; criminal law issues; wills, estates, guardianship, and probate; housing and landlord/tenant issues; and bankruptcy. Certified therapy dogs will be present; please keep this in mind if you are allergic.
