Womanspace is looking for family law attorneys who would like to volunteer for its monthly Legal Clinic.

The clinic offers support to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It meets at the Barbara and Herb Goodfriend Counseling Center, 1530 Brunswick Ave., Lawrenceville.

Womanspace provides training on working with survivors to volunteers.

After the initial training, attorneys are asked to sign up for a regular schedule; although the schedule varies based on the number of available attorneys.

Bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply.

The goal of the Legal Clinic is to provide an opportunity for a one time consultation that can help clients to clarify their unique situation and to explore their legal options. Consultations are private and 35 minutes in duration. They are scheduled by appointment only by Womanspace staff.

Client participation is voluntary and the consultation in no way obligates either client or attorney beyond the consult.

To volunteer for the Legal Clinic or for additional information, contact Susan Victor, director of counseling, at (609) 394-2532 or rsv@womanspace.org.

Womanspace is a not-for-profit agency that seeks to provide services to survivors and their families, of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking in Mercer County.
