Nevada Judiciary

The Nevada Supreme Court Law Library and Volunteer Attorneys for Rural Nevadans (VARN) have developed a "Lawyer in the Library" program, to help inform and educate the public at large on a variety of legal issues, including divorce, child custody/child support, consumer law, bankruptcy, probate, wills and more. The goal of the "Lawyer in the Library" program is to educate and equip lay people to address common legal issues and/or function within our legal system.

Licensed Nevada attorneys have volunteered to help members of this community effectively address certain legal issues and/or participate in our legal system. The volunteer will try to provide you with background on your legal issue, help you identify what you might do to address that issue and may point out materials that specifically discuss and explain your issue. The volunteer can also provide you with references to a number of legal services that may be able to offer more detailed assistance.

Initially, the Lawyer in the Library program will be held once a month at the Nevada Supreme Court Law Library, 201 S. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The next Lawyer in the Library program is scheduled for November 17, 2004. Appointments will be scheduled for interested participants to meet with a volunteer attorney for approximately 10-15 minutes. To schedule an appointment, or if you have any questions, please call Kathy Harrington, Law Librarian, at 775-684-1640.
