Whether you are confronting a legal challenge or simply seeking direction, Lawyers in Your Library delivers credible, compassionate support directly into your community at no cost and without pressure.
Monthly events, coordinated through the Wake County Legal Support Center, provide access to legal information resources that extend well beyond family and housing law. Visitors can also connect with Legal Hand of North Carolina, Legal Aid of North Carolina and Wake Housing Affordability and Community Revitalization, all of which offer information and referrals across a broad range of civil legal issues, ensuring that every participant leaves with practical next steps
To ensure everyone has access, Lawyers in Your Library will rotate across regions of the county each quarter, as well as virtual Know Your Rights events that anyone can access from anywhere.
