Clinics Program

VLP's Clinics Program is designed to assist with legal matters or inquiries that can be resolved with a short consultation with an attorney or other legal professional. The Clinics Program hosts Pop-up Legal Clinics in Omaha and Lincoln, and a Virtual Self-Help Center which can be accessed from anywhere in the state. Pop-up Legal Clinics and the Virtual Self-Help Center are discussed in more detail below. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer with our Clinics Program, please email our Clinics Managing Attorney, Mara Kellogg, at [email protected].

Pop-up legal clinics

One-day advice clinics are pro bono projects that bring lawyers into communities where low-income persons work and live. Volunteers meet with walk-in visitors at various community locations to give basic information about the law, distribute available court forms, assist with forms comprehension, and to provide resources and information about free or low-cost legal service providers in the community. The sign-up links to volunteer are listed below.

Center for People Clinic - Lincoln
Heart Ministry Center Clinic - Omaha
NAACP, Omaha Chapter Clinic - Omaha

Virtual Self-help center

The Volunteer Lawyers Project provides a Virtual Self-Help Center to provide legal advice and information to low-income Nebraskans throughout the state. An emphasis is made to serve those in rural areas, as well as those who are unable to attend in-person legal services due to disability or other need. Volunteers meet with clients via a secure, online platform. Legal areas for which these online clinics are held include: 
​
  •         Family Law
  •         Probate
  •         General Civil Law 

If you would like to sign up to volunteer with this program, please email Mara Kellogg at [email protected].
