Legal Clinic Volunteers Needed

Nevada Legal Services (NLS) is honoring Dr. Martin Luther King and his call to service with a free legal clinic. In order to make this clinic a success, NLS needs members of the State Bar of Nevada to step up and lend a hand; it seeks volunteer attorneys who are willing to provide free legal advice to low-income attendees at the clinic.

The free legal clinic takes place on January 19, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteer attorneys of all specialties are needed. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Carmela Reed at creed@nlslaw.net or at (702) 386-0404 ext. 140.
