A free legal clinic will be held by Zoom or phone on April 18 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to an announcement released on April 7. The event is open to all low-income Alaskans and does not require an appointment.

The clinic aims to provide confidential, brief legal advice from Alaska volunteer attorneys for non-criminal matters. Organizers say that interpreters will be available at no cost during the session.

No prior registration is necessary, allowing participants to join as needed throughout the afternoon. The event offers support for a range of civil legal questions and is intended to make legal resources more accessible across the state.

Additional details can be found in the attached PDF or by visiting alaska.org/spring, according to organizers.

This initiative reflects ongoing efforts by Alaska’s volunteer attorneys and community organizations to address barriers faced by low-income residents seeking civil legal assistance.
