In Legal Terms: Working With MVLP

In Legal Terms

Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Project helps individuals represent themselves in court through self-representation clinics. They are able to do this with help from volunteer lawyers. We learn more about the MVLP from their Executive Director and General Counsel, Gayla Carpenter-Sanders.

If you need a little bit of help with a legal matter that can be handled without an attorney, you might want to attend one of the Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Projects Self Representation Clinics. There are clinics that discuss: Irreconcilable Differences Divorces, Uncontested Guardianships, Advance Healthcare Directives, Power of Attorneys, Simple Wills, Misdemeanor Expungements, Felony Expungements, and Foreclosure Prevention.

The Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Project has many opportunities for attorneys, law students, college students and paralegals with a willingness to serve. Folks Volunteer at legal clinics, there are attorney resources, and Continuing Legal Education opportunities. M V L P.org/volunteer has the details.

Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Project relies on the generosity of donors to help connect low-income clients with volunteer attorneys who will fight for their rights. That might be by large or small contributions or by selecting MVLP as a Community Rewards Program recipient from Kroger or Amazon. M V L P.org/donate has more information.
