Legal Clinic November 17th
In collaboration with Florida Rural Legal Services, the Rupert J Smith Law library in Fort Pierce is happy to announce that we are assisting with an upcoming Law Library Clinic. We are fulfilling our mission by connecting individuals with resources and attorneys to navigate the legal system by providing equal access to the law.
Individuals will have the opportunity to speak with an attorney to discuss their legal issues moving forward. The next clinic will be held Monday, November 17, 2025 beginning at 9:30 and ending at 12:30. Law Library appointments are limited to registered applicants only; unless an attorney authorizes otherwise. Sessions will be 30 minutes in length, with a half hour break in between.
