The Arkansas Access to Justice Commission is seeking attorney volunteers for several upcoming virtual legal advice clinics. Attorneys who volunteer for these clinics will work in teams with one or two law students to provide answers to legal questions submitted by low-income Arkansans. All clinics will take place via Zoom and use the AR Free Legal Answers website. An on-demand training course is available for volunteers who have not used AR Free Legal Answers. Malpractice coverage is provided for pro bono work done at the clinics.

Attorneys who volunteer for these clinics are eligible to earn CLE credit for their pro bono work. Arkansas attorneys may earn up to three hours of CLE credit per CLE cycle for pro bono work done with an approved sponsoring entity. For every three hours of qualifying pro bono work done, an attorney may claim one hour of CLE credit. Learn more about the CLE for pro bono rule here.

Upcoming Clinics:

• November 10th from Noon to 1 pm

• December 4th from Noon to 1 pm

• December 18th from Noon to 1 pm
