The legal community, including law students from a number of schools, provided meaningful opportunities for Tennesseans to connect to civil legal help during Help4TNMonth, the Administrative Office of the Courts reports. Events this month included a Faith and Justice Phone-In General Legal Advice Clinic in Knoxville, a statewide virtual town hall on Tennessee’s mandatory reporting laws and best practices for dealing with survivors of assault, and continued efforts to assist courts facing a backlog of civil cases caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the legal clinic in Knoxville, 22 students from the Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law conducted intake, completed necessary paperwork and provided case summaries to the attorney volunteers. Students from the University of Tennessee College of Law also participated. Read more about these activities and reflections from attorney volunteers who participated on the AOC website.
