DETAILS
This week, Central Virginia Legal Aid Society opened the courthouse housing law outreach attorney office at John Marshall Court, where Richmond General District Court is housed.
Central Virginia Legal Aid Society was able to launch the pilot program with funding from the Virginia Poverty Law Center. It’s the result of increased attention on Richmond’s high eviction rate.
