I will participate in the following clinics:

                    their case, provide advice, and determine the next course of

                    action.

  

     Domestic Relations

                    Assist clients in these areas:  divorce with children, divorce without

                    children, and paternity.  Provide basic information on domestic

                    relations issues and assist clients in completing self-help forms.


   
 Bankruptcy Court Reaffirmation Hearings                   

                    Supervise law students as they meet with unrepresented clients at

                    their reaffirmation hearings in Bankruptcy Court.  The students

                    review reaffirmation agreements presented to he client by their

                    creditors and then make recommendations to the Court.

 

      Self Service Center Pilot Project

                    Supervise law students as they meet with pro se litigants at the

                    Pima County Superior Court Self-Service Center.  The project

                    focuses on family law cases and helps participants prepare to

                    represent themselves at trial, handle discovery and disclosure

                    requirements, calculate child support and draft motions. 

 

      Guardianship Clinic

                    This VLP Guardianship Clinic provides prospective guardians of

                    minors with legal assistance in requesting a guardianship in

                    probate court.  Through this project, volunteer attorneys conduct

                    clinics at the VLP office to answer questions concerning

                    guardianship and to help the prospective guardians complete

                    the requisite legal paperwork. 

 

      Minor Guardianship Court Program

                    Supervise law students as they meet with unrepresented clients at

                    their guardianship hearings in Probate Court.  The students will

                    explain the proceedings and review the client’s file to ensure that

                    the paperwork is in order and that all of the legal requirements have

                    been met.  Students then have the opportunity to appear before the

                    Court and offer the court their recommendation as to whether the

                    client should be awarded guardianship.
