Volunteer Attorneys Needed to Help Staff Womanspace Legal Clinic

Womanspace is looking for family law attorneys who would like to volunteer to assist survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our monthly Legal Clinic. The long-standing clinic offers vital support to our clients.

The goal of the Legal Clinic is to provide an opportunity for a one-time consultation that can help clients to clarify their unique situation and to explore their legal options. So many clients come to us with pending legal issues and this has been a successful way to help them begin their journey with the best information possible.

• The Legal Clinic takes place at our Barbara and Herb Goodfriend Counseling Center at 1530 Brunswick Ave in Lawrenceville.
• Training on Womanspace and the work with survivors is provided to all attorneys who elect to volunteer.
• After the initial training attorneys are asked to sign up for a regular schedule, although the schedule varies based on the number of available attorneys.
• Client participation is voluntary and the consultation in no way obligates either client or attorney beyond the consult.
• All communications between the client and attorney are confidential under the laws and attorney ethical standards of New Jersey.
• Consultations are private and 35 minutes in duration. They are scheduled by appointment only, by Womanspace staff.
