At the Civil Appeals clinic, self-represented litigants who qualify for assistance meet with volunteer attorneys, who among other things assess whether a final judgement exists and calculate any deadlines; give general advice concerning appellate issues and procedure; and draft basic documents. The Volunteer also assesses whether a litigant’s case should be reviewed for further representation, considering whether the appeal is meritorious, falls within the VLP priority areas, has broad-based implications for low-income people and/or constitutes a legal error.

This training is not for those seeking legal help. If you are seeking legal help, please call our helpline.
The training will explain the history and purpose of the program, and provide the nuts-and-bolts for volunteer attorneys who will staff the clinic. Appellate attorneys and legal services attorneys will discuss appellate procedures and strategies and highlight special considerations for housing and family law appeals.
