Need legal advice?
This time it’s free.
Advocacy for Action, an Atlanta based nonprofit which educates the public about the importance of diversity in the judicial system, is hosting a free community forum on Saturday, at Georgia Gwinnett College.
Many lawyers charge an hourly consulting fee. Now, you can get free one-on-one advice.
Advocacy for Action’s goal for the “Judging the Judges” forum is to bridge the gap between the community and the judicial system.
Attendees can receive legal advice about such issues as traffic tickets, divorce cases, criminal cases, probate, juvenile and civil lawsuits.
Former Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thelma Wyatt Moore; retired DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Keegan Federal; Tyrone Brooks, president emeritus of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials; and Lauglin McDonald of the ACLU will be on hand along with several defense attorneys and civil rights attorneys to answer questions about why diversity in the courts is so important.
In addition to getting legal adivce, people can also register to vote.
The 2016 candidates for Gwinnett Judicial Office will also be there to discuss their platforms.
The forum will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1000 University Center Lane in Lawrenceville.
Free refreshments will be provided.
