Pro Bono Limited Means Opportunity!

The Summit County Juvenile court seeks law students who can volunteer at the Attorney Help Desk every Wednesday from 1-4:30. It is not necessary that you volunteer every Wednesday. The law student would assist clients with completing pro se forms in custody or delinquency issues. The court will provide training. The court would prefer a second or third year student who has taken juvenile and/or family law, but will consider all interested volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact David Horner 330-643-2562.
