Virtual Opportunity
This remote clinic takes place on the first Saturday of each month. CLASP offers callers seeking legal help a chance to speak with an attorney for free and receive a 15-20 minute telephone consultation on that day only. Legal advice is available in various areas of law, including family, immigration, housing, employment, consumer, bankruptcy, personal injury, trusts & estates, real estate, and more. The clinic begins with intake from 10 am - 12 pm. Later that same day, clients will receive a call from an attorney to give them advice on their legal issue. We are looking for volunteers for intake, interpretation, and attorney volunteers. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Clinics Coordinator Amarilis Medrano at amarilis@acbanet.org for more information.

Virtual Opportunity
This opportunity is open to all CA licensed attorneys in good standing. Training and supervision is provided by Legal Access Alameda. Volunteer attorneys are matched with a low income parent who has a short cause hearing regarding child custody and visitation already set on the court's calendar. The volunteer speaks to the client, reviews relevant court filings, and represents the litigant at the hearing on a limited scope basis. After preparing written orders and making sure the client understands them, the attorney's work for the client is complete. SCP will file a Substitution of Attorney or Notice of Completion of Limited Scope Representation. At this time, SCP occurs every Wednesday afternoon in Department 513 via Blue Jeans videoconference.
