UC Clermont Legal Clinics
UC Clermont College’s paralegal program offers free virtual legal clinics to local residents.
The clinics, sponsored by a grant from the Ohio State Bar Foundation, offer clients the opportunity to receive professional legal assistance, with local attorneys providing support alongside UC Clermont paralegal students and faculty members. And for the paralegal students participating, the events offer priceless practical experience.
Because of COVID-19, the format of the clinics is currently virtual, which helps the program reach clients in counties east of Cincinnati, such as Clermont, Brown and Highland, as well as across Ohio.
All clinics are free of charge to clients. Consultation with the paralegal student will be conducted via Microsoft Teams and can be accessed from a computer or mobile device. The program will follow strict ethical requirements to protect client confidentiality.
*Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public, except as permitted by law.
