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.
