Community Legal Project is a joint collaboration with UNC Law School. Law Students meet in-person (virtual options available to clients during COVID) with a client to assess their situation regarding family law or domestic violence. After the initial assessment, the student writes an official law school memo that is reviewed by an attorney. The volunteer attorney provides feedback and edits to the memo, which is presented to the client in person.
