Free legal advice will soon be available to residents needing help with civil matters during Louisiana’s annual Pro Bono Week, set for Oct. 20–25.

Volunteer attorneys will provide telephone consultations at no cost, offering guidance on civil legal issues such as housing, family law and other non-criminal matters. Criminal questions will not be addressed.

The deadline to register is Friday, Oct. 10. Participants must sign up in advance to schedule a call with a volunteer lawyer.

Those interested can complete the registration form online here.
