Pride Law Clinic Returns

The PrideLaw clinic is a legal referral and self-help clinic that meets once a week at Wingspan. The clinic is staffed by law student volunteers from the University of Arizona College of Law. Anyone is free to drop in on Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Wingspan, 425 E. 7th St., whether they identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, questioning or not.

Common issues include landlord-tenant disputes, workplace discrimination, relationship formation or dissolution, and domestic violence. The clinic maintains resources to allow clients to find solutions to their legal problems, up to and including a list of LGBT friendly attorneys in Tucson. Because our volunteers are not licensed attorneys, we cannot dispense legal advice. This means volunteers will not be able to tell you what you should or should not do, but they can work with you to develop a list of options and a strategy to move forward.

For more information, call Wingspan (520) 624-1779.
