Pace University’s law school debuts Legal Hand Call-in Center

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University has teamed with Legal Hand Inc. to launch Westchester first Legal Hand Call-in Center.

The Legal Hand service provides trained non-lawyer volunteers who offer community members free assistance in the areas of housing, immigration, family issues, public benefits, domestic violence, elderly assistance and estate issues. The new virtual Legal Hand Call-In Center will be operated by Haub Law students and community volunteers six days a week via phone, text message, email and chat.

“Our Legal Hand Volunteers are highly trained law students and community members who care deeply about understanding the issues facing Westchester individuals and families and empowering them by connecting them to resources and information that can help.” said Elyse Diamond, director of the Public Interest Law Center and Access to Justice Project, at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.
