Legal Aid is holding free Legal Aid phone clinics for residents of the eight-county district on Tuesday and July 9.

The district includes Jackson, Jennings. Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Johnson, Rush, and Shelby Counties. The phone clinics will be conducted from 3 to 5:30 p.m., though registration is required between noon to 2 p.m.

The Legal Aid Clinic and Pro Bono Program utilizes local volunteer attorneys, offering free legal consultations to low-income individuals for the provision of legal advice and assistance in furtherance of equal access to justice within our communities who might not otherwise be able to afford the counsel of an attorney.

Individuals calling to the Legal Aid phone clinics can expect to receive a brief consultation to answer general and eviction questions, offer legal information or to receive other limited pro se assistance or advice over the phone.

Individuals seeking legal consultation must register by calling Legal Aid at 812-378-0358 on the day of the clinic between noon and 2 p.m. A volunteer attorney will return calls to registered individuals between 3 and 5:30 p.m. the same day. Individuals must be available between 3 and 5:30 p.m. to answer the attorney’s call.
