PBSC volunteers participate in several projects through CLASSIC.  For the Low Income Families clinic, low income clients receive summary legal advice from volunteer practicing lawyers during half hour appointments. Students assist the lawyers by taking notes during the interviews.  Volunteers also participate in a walk-in clinic in which students, under the supervision of a lawyer, provide clients with legal information and basic legal services. Students provide client assistance including drafting correspondence and court documents, legal research and writing, and representing clients at court and in hearings.  Finally, through the Family Advice Legal Clinic, low income clients receive summary legal advice from volunteer practicing lawyers during half hour appointments, and students assist with the completion of family law documents for self-represented low-income clients.
