Statewide Service Day Scheduled April 4
Article Date: 1/29/2008
Members of the North Carolina Bar Association will give freely of their time and talents on Friday, April 4, as participants in the Statewide Service Day.
The event will feature a toll-free statewide telephone network staffed entirely by volunteer attorneys who will provide free legal information to callers throughout the day.
The volunteer service day is a component of the NCBA’s ongoing 4ALL initiative, the object of which is to expand the provision of civil legal services to the poor. On April 4, however, all North Carolina citizens will be encouraged to phone in with their legal questions.
Each city will have a distinctive 800-number and callers are encouraged – though not required – to phone the city closest to their hometown. The toll-free numbers will be announced as call-in sites are finalized in the following cities:
- Asheville
- Charlotte
- Fayetteville
- Greensboro
- New Bern
- Raleigh
- Wilmington
- Winston-Salem
The phone numbers will be staffed and activated at 7 a.m. and will remain in operation until 7 p.m.
For additional information regarding the 4/4 Service Day and the 4ALL campaign, refer to the 4ALL section of the NCBA Web site at www.4allnc.org.
