Instructions

    • 1

      Contact the local legal aid organization in your community. Legal aid offices are in operation in many cities across the country and provide legal assistance to individuals lacking the financial means to retain a lawyer. Information about the Legal Aid Society can be found online at legal-aid.org.

    • 2

      Schedule an appointment to consult with an attorney associated with the legal aid organization.

    • 3

      Provide the attorney with a copy of the contract for her review. The attorney will provide you an analysis of the contract itself during or following the consultation.

    • 4

      Contact a local law school if you do not have a legal aid organization in your area. Most law schools maintain a clinical program through which a student in her final year can obtain practical experience by providing legal assistance to people without the means to hire a private lawyer. The students work under the supervision of a licensed attorney. Information on a typical law school clinic can be accessed through washburnlaw.edu/clinic.

    • 5

      Set up an appointment through the law school clinic to have your contract reviewed and analyzed.

    • 6

      Contact the local bar association if you are unable to connect with a legal aid organization or law school clinic. General information on the bar association nationally is at abanet.org.

    • 7

      Inquire of the local bar association if there are any attorneys providing pro bono services in the arena of contract law.

    • 8

      Make contact with a lawyer involved in a bar association related program that provides pro bono legal services. Schedule an appointment to obtain a contract review.
