The local Legal Aid office is planning free clinics in several area communities on Monday, Jan. 15th.

The clinics offer low income residents a chance to get free legal consultations from volunteer attorneys. Each consultation is about 10 minutes long and they are meant to answer general questions, to provide legal information or to give other assistance. There are no appointments and the sessions are available on a first-come first serve basis.

The sessions are all from 3 to 5 p.m. on January 15th.

The Bartholomew County session will be at the Legal Aid Office in the United Way Center on 13th Street. Other sessions include at the Jennings, Jackson and Decatur county public libraries.
