CQE Clinic Tomorrow – Great Pro Bono (of Limited Means!) Opportunity for 1Ls
The Legal Clinic is seeking 2-3 volunteers to do intake at the CQE Clinic tomorrow at St. Paul Baptist Church (1350 Virginia Ave, Akron). The intake volunteers will be needed 12:15p-3:45p and don’t have to go through training to take advantage of this opportunity. By doing this, you’ll earn 3.5 pro bono limited means hours (the gold standard!). This also allows you the opportunity to interact with actual clients and see what the CQE clinics are all about.
Further, if you’re interested and wanted to stay until 4:30p you could earn an extra .75 pro bono hour and sit in with a trained volunteer while they assist a client. For more information about the clinic, visit their website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.
Please e-mail Lyndsey (LLL35@zips.uakron.edu) if you’re interested in taking advantage of this great opportunity!
