On Wednesday, September 9, 2015, the Law Library hosted another successful Ask A Lawyer In The Library program. Thank you Mike Valadez for volunteering and providing this service to the public. Twelve people signed up for the program, and six people were able to meet with the attorney to discuss issues related to contracts, a judicial review memorandum, foreclosure and warranties.

As the program is set-up to accommodate 6 twenty-minute sessions, the Law Library’s staff assisted those people who were not able to meet with the attorney by providing reference and referral services on issues ranging from landlord/tenant disputes, foreclosure, employment discrimination and civil procedure. For example, the Law Library provided a referral to the District Court Self Help Resource Center, and the patron was able to call the District Court Self Help Resource Center while at the Law Library so that the Law Library could provide additional support, such as access to forms available online (and instruction regarding use of online tools and resources) through our public access computers as well as access to resources available in the library and online that provide overviews about landlord/tenant law.

The Law Library is always available to provide reference and referral services during the Library’s hours of operation. Please contact us!

The program is not a substitute for representation. If you need an attorney to represent you, you can contact the Anne Arundel Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service.
