ELAP Issues Call for Volunteer Family Law Attorneys
 Beginning in 2012 ELAP has decided to increase the length of appointment times in its Family Law Legal Advice Clinics to be able to enhance services to family law and domestic violence clients. Since appointments will be longer, ELAP will need the help of additional family law attorneys at their Clinics. ELAP would appreciate any family law attorneys who will join them and volunteer their time and talents to give pro bono legal advice to their low-income clients here on the Eastside. Please consider volunteering and call Judith Shoshana, ELAP Program Director, at 425.747.7274 ext.201 to discuss how you can help, or fill out the application form on the ELAP website at www.elap.org and email it to Judith at Judith@elap.org and she'll contact you herself.
