NCVBA will review the Legal Clinic Interest Form to assess whether the clinic can be an effective resource for the applicant. Most submissions will be approved to participate in the clinic and speak to an attorney. However, it is important to note that the purpose of the clinic is to have an opportunity to speak with an attorney and receive legal advice only. Speaking with an attorney during the clinic does not guarantee legal representation in you case.
