Another Access to Justice Clinic

The Superior Court Judges of the Western Circuit, in partnership with the University of Georgia School of Law and the Western Circuit Bar Association, announce the third pop-up clinic in the Access to Justice Initiative. The mission of the Access to Justice Initiative is to provide access to legal services and information for individuals in need of legal assistance who live in the community.

Superior Court Judge Regina M. Quick will hold the third of several Access to Justice Pop-Up Clinics from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at the Athens Regional Library Auditorium at 2025 Baxter Street in Athens, along with Magistrate Court Chief Judge Patricia Barron, Magistrate Court Judge Benjamin Makin, and Superior Court Judge Eric Norris. Staff from the Probate Court and Georgia Legal Services and students from the UGA School of Law will also be in attendance.

Attorneys provide brief individual consultations on topics including family law such as divorce and child support, adoption law, probate law, employment law, criminal law, and landlord-tenant law at the Pop-Up Clinics. A list of legal service/attorney resources will be provided for individuals who may wish to seek further assistance beyond the Pop-Up Clinic. The Pop-Up Clinics will be held one Saturday a month through June from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at various locations around Athens to be announced. The dates for the remaining clinics are February 24, March 24, April 21, May 12, and June 16.

Lawyers, legal educators, and staff attorneys from the local courts have committed to volunteering their time for the Access to Justice Initiative. The initiative is an opportunity to help those in need in the community and help provide access to competent legal representation.
