Once again, it is time for the “People’s Law School,” the oldest and most successful law program for the layperson in the country! This is your chance to learn more about your legal rights, and have fun at the same time. On Saturday, October 3rd, the Center for Consumer Law at the University of Houston Law Center, will host more than forty volunteer lawyers, judges, and law professors, teaching courses in fourteen different areas of law. The “People’s Law School” is designed to give you some useful information about your legal rights. Best of all, it is absolutely free! The program runs from 9 a.m. until noon on the main campus of the University of Houston. There will be classes in business law, employment law, health insurance, consumer law, credit and debt collection, wills and estates, family law, insurance law, landlord tenant law, small claims court, social security and how to deal with an attorney. There will even be a class on how you can find the law on the Internet. Each person may choose three classes to attend. Every class will be taught by a different instructor and is a little different, so feel free to take a class more than once if you are really interested in the subject matter. Volunteer lawyers, judges, and law professors teach all the classes. To make sure things run smoothly, dozens of volunteer law students and members of the University of Houston Law Center staff will be available to help with everything from the free coffee and donuts, to the final evaluation form. Everyone who attends also will receive comprehensive written materials to supplement the classes. As the more than 50,000 people who have attended the People’s Law School have discovered, when it comes to the law knowledge really is power. The “People’s Law School” won’t make you an attorney, but it will help you settle disputes and avoid problems. Whether you are buying a car, preparing a will, dealing with a debt collector or in a dispute with your neighbor, knowing your legal rights can make a difference. I look forward to seeing you on October 3rd. Arrive early and join me for some free coffee and doughnuts. Click here for more.
