Legal Program

The Free Legal Clinic runs monthly.
Meetings are up to 30 minutes with an attorney for legal advice free of charge.

Please call 802-748-2977 to set up a meeting

The Community Restorative 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 for people who are low income or have other barriers to getting legal help.

Please call to make an appointment as it takes time for the attorneys to run a conflict check.

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. The legal Clinic is made possible by a grant from the Vermont Bar Foundation.

For more information, or to make an appointment, please call 748-2977.

The assistance of the legal clinic coordinator is available to area residents in need of problem solving in order to resolve their issues. The CRJC staff 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 CRJC’s Legal Clinic, the Caledonia Court’s Legal Clinic, Vermont Legal Aid, private attorneys and other legal assistance as appropriate.
