Abstract Number: 070015

November 2007

The Legal Aid of Northwest Texas Equal Justice Volunteer Program (EJVP) in Fort Worth, Texas conducts 20 walk-in neighborhood evening clinics located in low-income neighborhoods.  These clinics are operated monthly.  Out of 20, six of EJVP clinics specialize in Bankruptcy Law, Domestic Violence, Family Law, General Civil Law, Social Security Law, Wills and Probate Law.  Also, EJVP and the Black Women Lawyers Association of County sponsor a free clinic for low-income people with uncontested divorces who reside in Tarrant County (Ft. Worth).  Attorneys, who volunteer in the legal clinical program interview applicants to determine case merits, render advice in matters that do not require litigation and recommend case acceptance/denial to the program case review committee.
