In-House... In the Community: Whitman-Walker Pro Bono Clinic

ACC National Capital Region and Whitman-Walker Health Legal Services are pleased to collaborate on an opportunity to provide pro bono services to persons who need assistance preparing the paperwork to change their names and gender markers on identity documents and in other legal records. Volunteers will work in teams to assist pre-screened clients. Participation in the clinic is open to attorneys and paralegals.

The schedule for this pro bono project is:

• Registration and breakfast start at 8:30 a.m.
• Training session (eligible for Virginia Bar MCLE credit) from 9 to 10:30 a.m.  We will start promptly at 9 a.m.
• Break from 10:30 to 11 a.m.
• Clinic from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Other notes:

• Volunteers are not expected to provide on-going representation to the clients.
• Legal malpractice insurance provided by Whitman-Walker Health.
• Attorneys not licensed in Virginia may attend and participate, but will be paired with a Virginia-barred attorney when assigning clients.  Legal paraprofessionals are also welcome to participate.
