Martin Luther King Day

January 20, 2014

In honor of Martin Luther King Junior, attorneys answer legal questions for free on MLK Day in communities across Alaska.  These clinics are for low income Alaskans with civil legal needs that include family, landlord-tenant, and public benefits issues.

This clinic is a public service project of the Alaska Bar Association, Alaska Court System, and Alaska Legal Services Corporation.

Four years of good work!  $188,000 of donated services  2,700 volunteer hours  1,205 clients served  560 volunteers  = MLK Day events in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and Sitka!  View more information from previous MLK Day events.

We couldn't do it without our volunteers and community donors!
