Waukesha County Family Court expands self-help program

The Waukesha County Family Court Self-Help program has expanded its offerings to include a Family Legal Clinic. Thirteen attorneys have volunteered for the clinics and provide free family court related legal advice. The self-help staff screen each litigant prior to the consultations to ensure as much assistance as possible for each appointment. These screenings allow the volunteer attorneys to make the best use of the litigants' 20-minute consultation. As of February 7, 2008, they have offered 5 clinics assisting 20 litigants. So far, attorneys have committed to volunteer at 96 clinics in 2008.
