The Roanoke Bar Association is proud to announce the fourth series of a public education program entitled You and the Law.  Originally started in 2010, this program is designed to educate the public about the legal system in order to make citizens' interaction with the system more efficient and less frustrating.

You and the Law will cover basic information relating to practices and procedures in the general district courts and the circuit courts, issues where there may be misunderstanding or a lack of understanding, and substantive information relating to specific areas of the law.

You and the Law will not provide legal services or legal advice concerning specific cases or issues in which citizens may be involved.

These seminars are open to the public and are FREE, but seating is limited and registration is required.  Registration will be available beginning April 2, 2013.

You and the Law has been featured on Round Roanoke and Daytime Blue Ridge.  You can also watch all previous sessions by clicking on the links at the bottom of this page.
