On Monday, October 6th, UMBC will host a legal clinic at the Erickson School of Aging Studies in partnership with Maryland Legal Aid and the Baltimore County Bar Association. This clinic is focused on advanced planning for seniors.
At this clinic, volunteer attorneys will be paired with UMBC student volunteers to assist local seniors in completing Advance Directive forms. An advance directive allows a person to choose who will make health care decisions on their behalf if they are ever unable to do so
The event has already reached the maximum number of student volunteers. Planners are seeking both prospective volunteer attorneys and clients.
We are currently recruiting attorney volunteers. We would also welcome additional support in getting the word out to the community for this inaugural event!
Although we are targeting seniors to attend the event, there are no minimum age requirements.
Please see this (1) registration link volunteer attorneys and (2) the attached flyer and registration link for community members.
