Please complete the below form to help facilitate us match you up with a practitioner. Please read the following. By completing this form and participating in this virtual legal fair, you are acknowledging and accept the following.

At this event, volunteer attorneys will provide you (the applicant) with limited-scope legal representation on the day of the Legal Fair.  This limited-scope representation shall consist only of a thirty-minute consultation on the issue you specify in this application and shall not extend any further.  This application does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship, and an attorney-client relationship will not exist until you meet the attorney assigned to your issue at the time for your appointment.  The representation shall then terminate at the end of the thirty-minute consultation.  

Please note that these attorneys are not required to perform any work or provide any advice on your behalf until you meet with the attorney at the time of your appointment. The representation is limited to legal advice regarding the issue you specify in the application, and the attorneys will not represent you in court, will not draft, prepare, or file any papers for you, and will not do any other work for the you either before or after the scheduled consultation, unless you and the attorney enter into a separate, written representation agreement.
