Based on the great response to the pilot clinics in Morgan Hill, Santa Clara County Library has agreed to operate four separate clinics Across the county. We are also working with the U.S Department of Veteran Affairs to provide a first-of-its-kind virtual clinic at a South Bay VA center specifically for veterans and their legal issues. This new virtual clinic will include an intake and general advice clinic as well as a clinic for limited scope representation, all performed virtually!
