Aloha MCBA Members,
Effective July 1, 2017, the Thursday Self-Help Center hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Training for attorneys to volunteer is also now available online:

password: lash123
After completing the videos, attorneys must complete the online exam successfully (15 questions) to access the video completion and agreement to participate forms.
At the Self-Help Center, Volunteer Attorneys and an Americorps Advocate provide limited legal information to help self-represented litigants with District and Family Court civil matters. Assistance is provided for issues related to landlord cases, collection cases, District and Family Court temporary restraining orders, divorces, custody and other matters. Assistance may be given in the form of providing Court Forms, reviewing Court Documents for interpretation or to insure that the forms has been completed correctly. Additionally, volunteers try to answer as many procedural questions as possible.
All Maui attorneys are encouraged to volunteer!
Thank you,
Brandon Segal
MCBA Bar President 2017
