3. I confirm that I have not received more than one appointment between January to June, and again in July to December.
4. I understand that I must be present and ready at my appointment time. If I am not present, or have technical difficulties joining the Zoom, I forfeit my appointment. It will not be rescheduled.
5. I understand that there is no attorney-client relationship established through this program. The attorney I meet with is not my attorney, does not represent me, and cannot counsel me outside of this program. The attorney may speak with others involved in this case. There is no guarantee of confidentiality of my information or documents.
6. I understand that these are volunteer attorneys who may be unfamiliar with my particular legal issue, and may refer me to other resources for information.
7. I understand that my appointment will last no more than 20 minutes. The attorney may end the appointment earlier than 20 minutes if they feel the question has been answered.
8. If the attorney is already representing another party in my case, the attorney will tell me and discontinue my appointment. The attorney will inform the library to try to schedule my appointment with a different attorney on a different day.
9. I understand that my documents will not be retained or made available to me after my appointment .
