Volunteer at a Upcoming Legal Advice Clinic
Veteran's Legal Advice Clinic
The Barristers established a monthly legal advice clinic for veterans beginning in September 2016 and since that time, hundreds of veterans have received assistance in a wide variety of legal issues, including family law, landlord/tenant, bankruptcy, criminal defense, consumer protection, contract disputes, child support, and personal injury, among other issues. The clinic is held each month on the second Wednesday from 12 noon – 2 pm at the Knox County Public Defender's Community Law Office, 1101 Liberty Street. Attorney and law student volunteers are needed.
The Veterans’ Legal Advice Clinic is a general advice and referral clinic which serves between 20 and 30 veterans in the community. This is a joint project of the Knoxville Barristers, the Young Lawyers Division of the Knoxville Bar Association (KBA), KBA/Barristers Access to Justice Committees, Legal Aid of East Tennessee, Knox County Public Defender’s Community Law Office, the University of Tennessee College of Law, Lincoln Memorial University-Duncan School of Law and the local VA office.
The next clinic is December 8, 2021. There will be NO clinic in January 2022. By registering to volunteer in person, you accept the terms of the KBA COVID-19 Safety Acknowledgement - Liability Waiver and Release of Claims. In-person attorney volunteers should check the box on the signup form.
