ORLANDO, Fla – As part of Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law’s Great Day of Service, which is sponsored by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer’s MLK Commission, the law school will host a pop-up legal clinic on January 16, 2023 from 9 a.m. to noon at 201 FAMU Law Lane, Orlando, FL 32801.
The public is invited to stop by for free legal advice and to meet attorneys, law students, and organizations that will answer basic legal questions. Not only is the Great Day of Service a tribute to slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is also a way to recognize the rich law school history of helping neighbors. “It is important that we consistently strive to fulfill the charge that was issued at the time the law school was established — to serve the underserved,” said FAMU Law Professor and campus event organizer Patricia Broussard.
Over 100 volunteers signed up to participate in the annual Parramore Clean-up scheduled for January 16, from 8:30 a.m. – noon. Volunteers will meet at the law school.
