Be Prepared

When you come in, you should be prepared. Bring any information and documents that may be pertinent to your case. Be prepared to explain the issue to one of our representatives.

After filling out the necessary paperwork, a representative will discuss with you the various options or direct you to the correct source. If you desire to speak to an attorney then we will provide you with referral information to get you in touch with other organizations that may be able to assist you. A majority of these organizations provide free legal consultations as well as pro bono or reduced fees. The College of Business Legal Resource Center is not associated with any of these organizations.

The Legal Resource Center is always looking for volunteers to assist students, perform and publish research,  or any other legal interest.
