Time commitments vary according to each case. Time commitment for these projects varies as well. The clinic in SL County is co-sponsored by the Legal Aid Society, the Delivery of Legal Services Committee of the Utah State Bar, Utah Legal Services, and the Third District Court. In Davis County the clinic is part of the Victims of Crime Assistance Program. Both programs offer representation to pro se plaintiffs at protective order hearings.
Clients are people seeking protection from an abusive domestic situation.
Volunteer attorneys enter an appearance on behalf of the pro se litigant for the hearing only. Volunteers may receive training, information manuals and assistance from staff attorneys at the Legal Aid Society and Utah Legal Services. Volunteers also receive professional liability insurance coverage. This project is an estate planning, pro bono legal services program for low-income Utah residents. To date, the project has utilized retired or semi-retired volunteer attorneys to provide wills, advanced medical directives, and simple estate planning services.
