NECIC Offers Self Help Legal Clinics

14 Feb , 2020  

The law can be confusing for a lot of us - the use of phrases like “herewith” and “be it ordained” seem to exist only to keep everyday people from understanding legal documents and proceedings. Even so, most people need to have some foundational knowledge of legal language to help them at some point in their life. The North End Community Improvement Collaborative (NECIC) wants to help with this issue. They are holding a series of workshops that will provide people with basic legal information, and give them the opportunity to reach out for assistance later. Read More
