Outreach Project
Under the
supervision of a volunteer attorney or VLP staff attorney,
undergraduate
pre-law
students give informative presentations to agencies that serve the
poor in
Tucson.
The presentations consist of valuable information regarding the type
of
services
offered by the Volunteer Lawyers Program and Southern Arizona Legal
Aid.
Many times
low income individuals who believe they have civil legal problems
are
not aware
that there are free legal services available. The students impart
information regarding how to apply for services and distribute
resources during
the
presentations. The presentations are given to the populations
served by the
different
agencies and to the staff persons of the agencies as well. This
project
offers an
excellent opportunity for undergraduates to gain experience with
public
speaking
and be introduced to many different areas of the law.
Please contact Randi
Burnett, Student Coordinator &
Attorney at Law, at
