Each month at local public libraries in the First Judicial Circuit, volunteer attorneys work to help self-represented litigants through the Lawyer in the Library program. With several locations across the Southern Illinois region, free legal advice is available nearby.
The Lawyer in the Library program provides patrons needing help with a legal issue the opportunity for a private, one-on-one session with an attorney for up to 20-minutes to receive advice or help with legal documents. There is no fee and pre-registration is required at most locations.
