Rural Justice Legal Incubator Project

Now Accepting Applications for second cohort.
 
The purpose of the Project is to help solo practitioners build public interest-focused practices, while bringing much-needed legal services to low- and moderate-income Louisianans living in underserved, rural communities. Participating attorneys will work with experienced Acadiana Legal Service Corporation (ALSC) lawyers to provide services in some of the following parishes: Avoyelles, Cameron, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, De Soto, East and West Carroll, Franklin, Grant, LaSalle, Madison, Richland, Sabine, Tensas, Union, and Vernon. The types of cases may include successions, family law, advanced directives, bankruptcy, Social Security/Disability, Child in Need of Care (CINC), and housing and consumer issues.
