Spring Legal Clinic

📅 Saturday, April 18, 2026, 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM

📍Virtual Clinic: Join by Zoom or Phone Only

Get Free Legal Help from Volunteer Attorneys. This clinic is free and confidential (you may use a fake name and turn off your camera if you wish).

No appointment or pre-registration is required.

Low-income Alaskans can speak with a volunteer attorney for free legal advice about civil legal issues. Interpreters are available if needed.

Who Can Attend: All low-income Alaskans are welcome. You do not need to provide your name if you prefer to remain anonymous.

You may have to wait briefly until an intake volunteer is available

Volunteer attorneys may be able to provide guidance on:

✅ Divorce, Child Custody/Support
✅ Immigration
✅ Housing and Landlord-Tenant Disputes
✅ Probate, Wills, and Powers of Attorney
✅ Restoring Voting Rights
✅ Other Non-Criminal Legal Issues

Attorneys will provide short consultations (about 20–30 minutes).

1️⃣ Waiting Room: You will be admitted one at a time from the Zoom waiting room. It may take some time for the administrators to greet each person individually, so please be patient and don’t hang up! We will serve people in the order they arrived in the waiting room.

2️⃣ Intake: You will go to a private Zoom room where an intake volunteer will briefly ask about your legal issue so you can be matched with an attorney with experience in that area. You may then have to wait a bit until a volunteer attorney can meet with you. Again, please be patient and don’t hang up or walk away from your computer or you will lose your spot in line!

3️⃣ Legal Advice: You will have 20-30 minutes to talk with the attorney about your legal questions. If you have questions in more than one legal area (e.g. divorce and immigration), at the end of your first advice meeting you will be put back in line to meet with a different attorney. So think about which legal issue is most important for you to get answers on first. The attorney(s) you talk with will not represent you after the clinic.

4️⃣ Leave the Meeting: After you have received advice from the attorney(s), you will be asked to leave the Zoom meeting.

You will speak privately with the attorney in a Zoom room or by phone.

You may need to wait briefly if many people join at once.

No appointments are required. You can log in to the Zoom anytime between noon and 3 PM on April 18, 2026. First come, first served.

Getting Ready:

Prior to joining, we recommend that you:

Find a quiet place with a strong internet connection. You don’t want to spend your 20 minutes with the attorney dealing with technical issues!
Have any documents you want to share with the attorney relating to your question up on the screen of your device so that you can share it, if you wish.
Test your microphone, speakers, and camera (if you want to use your camera) on the device that you will be using to make sure it is set up correctly with Zoom. You can test it by clicking here.
If you do not want to share your name with the attorney, follow these directions on Joining a Zoom Meeting Anonymously before logging in.
