Lucy Cooper was instrumental in obtaining top-notch family law attorneys. Some attorneys are willing to volunteer every Tuesday for one hour or every other Friday, etc. By not providing guidance to pro se litigants, Judges do not risk loosing their neutral status. The clerks have time to do their jobs. Lawyers contribute back to their communities.
People get to know lawyers and their work.
It is a much more efficient method of addressing the legal needs of the unrepresented. No shows by volunteers. Attorneys need to work and, therefore, on occasion, they do not show up due to emergency hearings, meetings, trials, etc. The attorneys are reminded to call Atty. Romero or another volunteer for back up.
