On Saturday, Feb. 25, lawyers from local bar associations in Ashe, Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklenburg, Nash, and Wake counties will hold public "Ask-A-Lawyer" events.

The Hmong People Task Force of the North Carolina Bar Association will also hold a special program for the Hmong community in western North Carolina.  

During this event, individuals with questions about specific legal issues or the legal system in general will be able to talk with lawyers on a one-on-one basis.

This is a public service of the NCBA and the local bar associations, provided at no cost to the public, in conjunction with the NCBA Young Lawyers Division's fourth annual N.C. Lawyers Statewide Service Day.
