The South Carolina Bar and libraries across the state have teamed up to host virtual legal clinics in the coming months that will allow volunteer attorneys to assist members of the public with legal questions without sacrificing safety. Legal needs don’t stop in the face of a pandemic, and this innovative solution during the public health crisis will allow volunteers to meet people where they are.
Each clinic covers a broad legal topic and time is reserved at the end of the session for participants to ask questions. With clinics going virtual, missing a Family Law clinic hosted by a library in Myrtle Beach doesn’t mean you’ve missed out on the information – you can tune into the same topic presentation made possible by a Lexington area library.
The list of clinic topics, dates, times, and registration information is below. You can also find virtual clinic information and important updates here.
