Legal Aid is holding a free Legal Aid Phone Clinic for residents of their eight-county district on Aug. 13.

The district includes Jackson, Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jennings, Johnson, Rush and Shelby counties. The phone clinic will be conducted from 3 to 5:30 p.m. though registration is required between noon to 2 p.m. by calling 812-378-0358.

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 in to the clinic can expect to receive a brief consultation to general and eviction questions, legal information, or other limited pro se assistance or advice, over the phone.
