To celebrate Law Day, the ISBA, the ISBA Young Lawyers Division and the Illinois Bar Foundation have partnered with PILI to hold a virtual clinic to train volunteer attorneys on how to answer civil legal questions from people in need through Illinois Free Legal Answers.
Illinois Free Legal Answers is a secure website where low-income Illinoisans can ask a lawyer for help with a civil legal issue. Volunteer lawyers then log onto the site and answer questions waiting in the queue.
