Public Education

One of the Practice of Law Board's primary responsibilities is to educate the public about how to receive competent legal assistance.

Current Plans

The Board has been working for several years to create a tool called the Legal Checkup, to help a person determine if they have a legal issue and guide them to resources. 

The Board has issued a detailed Legal Checkup plan, which was most recently updated in September 2021. The Plan outlines the purpose behind and goals of the Legal Checkup project. Future Legal Checkup efforts will provide the public with information and resources regarding specific legal problems.
