The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) has always been there to aid New Jerseyans during times of crisis, when myriad and often novel legal questions arise.

Following Sept. 11, NJSBA volunteers staffed clinics in Hudson County for days on end to help the victims of that tragedy. In the weeks following Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy, the NJSBA activated a mass disaster response and provided assistance by phone to members of the affected communities struggling with legal issues.

The COVID-19 public health crisis is no different. At the present time, the Association is seeking volunteer attorneys to help New Jersey residents navigate the crisis through NJ Free Legal Answers, an online version of the traditional walk-in clinic. Members of the public can ask questions about civil legal challenges they are facing and receive free help from a volunteer attorney.
