Legal Program
Legal Clinics
The Justice Center's Legal Clinic provides one time advice about
legal rights and responsibilities, options for dealing with legal
issues, and information about how the legal system works so you
know what to expect when you have to go to court.
The Legal Clinic is held on the first Monday of each month from
6:00 to 8:00 pm.* Appointments are recommended, but the Legal
Clinic also takes walk-ins.
Legal Clinics are staffed by local attorneys who volunteer their
time. If you will need ongoing legal assistance, a referral can
be made at the end of your session to a local attorney with the
expertise you need.
For more information, or to make an appointment,
please call 748-2977.
*If the first Monday of the month is a holiday, please call to
find out when the Legal Clinic is scheduled.
Paralegal Assistance
The assistance of a paralegal is available at no cost to area
residents in need of problem solving in order to resolve
their issues. The CJC's paralegal can assist with the completion of
forms and applications, suggest approaches to resolving problems,
identify legal and non-legal resources available to the resident
and make referrals to the CJC's Legal Clinic, the Caledonia
Court's Legal Clinic, Vermont Legal Aid, private attorneys and other
legal assistance as appropriate.
