PRESS RELEASE
CAMP FIRE LEGAL INFORMATION CLINIC TO OPEN TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4TH
Cal Northern School of Law in partnership with the Butte County Bar Association is reaching out to those affected by the devastating Camp Fire with a free legal information clinic to help with the myriad of issues they may be facing, including probate, real estate, insurance coverage, criminal defense and the like.
Starting Tuesday, December 4th, the clinics will be offered twice a week:
Tuesdays from 4-7pm and Saturdays from 10am-2pm at the Disaster Relief Center in the old Sears building on Forest Avenue.
This is a very difficult time for our community. And in times like these, we are reminded to put our own needs aside and lend a helping hand. From a horrible tragedy comes an amazing positive energy and compassionate spirit of people to help one another in any possible way.
If you have any questions regarding the Camp Fire Legal Information Clinic please contact Camp Fire Legal Information Committee members, Sandra L. Brooks, Dean of Cal Northern School of Law, Anu Chopra, Attorney and Vice-President of the Butte County Bar Association, and Jeff Carter, Attorney during clinic hours.
