Public invited to 'law school' Wednesday in New London
New London — Members of the public are invited to attend the People's Law School on Wednesday at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School to learn more about their legal rights and responsibilities.
A panel of judges and lawyers have volunteered to provide information on criminal law, divorce, custody issues, child support, personal injury, small claims, immigration, landlord/tenant law and juvenile court.
The program will run from 6:15 to 8 p.m., and participants will be able to attend two 45-minute classes. Refreshments will be served and child care is available.
The volunteer teachers include staff from Bennie Dover, Superior Court Judge Kenneth L. Shluger and attorneys Lonnie Braxton, Paige Quilliam, Robert Tukey, Erica Rodriguez, Jason Burdick, Marcia Escobedo, Michael Doyle and Karen Sears.
The organizers are asking participants to use the Waller Street entrance to the school.
