The TLC is a free walk-in clinic that is a part of the Utah County Family Justice Center (FJC) and is composed of volunteer attorneys and law students. There is also a Zoom version of this clinic that happens at the same time. The center provides services for divorce, custody, or family law related issues; immigration; housing; and elder law. Clients are helped on a first-come-first-served basis. No appointment is necessary. Immigration questions can only be taken on the first, second, and third Tuesdays of the month. The Family Justice Center offers services from Community Action Services and Food Bank, Provo City Housing Authority, Victim Advocates, Division of Child and Family Services, Wasatch Behavioral Health, The Refuge, and Community Health Connect. The center prefers that new clients come in person to the center, as opposed to contacting the center by phone. The center is open every Tuesday night from 5:00pm–8:00pm, except the week of Thanksgiving and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. To be eligible to utilize the center's services, your income must be below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, or you must be a victim of domestic violence or have children who are victims of abuse.

The TLC document clinic provides assistance (by appointment only) for drafting documents for qualifying self-represented clients. You may either fill out intake forms after they are emailed to you or receive help filling them out on Tuesdays from 5:00pm–8:00pm at the Family Justice Center, located at the Utah County Health and Justice Building.
The requirements for receiving assistance are:
the legal issue must relate to family law;
you must be representing yourself in court (you don't have an attorney);
you must meet our income/screening guidelines,
you must fill out the intake form to be screened to see if your case is something we can assist with (you can either call our hotline or attend our weekly clinic);
After the intake forms are sent to the TLC, a response is sent informing you as to whether or not you have been approved to receive assistance. Approved clients will have a virtual meeting set up with an attorney who can assist in drafting court documents.
The Virtual Legal Clinic is a free, over-the-phone legal service sponsored by the Utah State Bar. This clinic replaced the Tuesday Night Bar in Salt Lake City, which is no longer operating. Through VLC, you can connect with a volunteer lawyer by phone or email for up to 30 minutes about your legal issue. It is important to note that the volunteer lawyer only offers legal information and brief advice and will not provide ongoing representation.

Referrals, screening, and placement take time. U@E is not appropriate for “emergency” legal services. After the veteran is 1) referred, 2) the Vet Intake form, Veteran Acknowledgement form, and DD214 are submitted, and 3) the veteran is determined to be eligible, many weeks pass, typically, before a veteran is represented, if at all.
Once a veteran has been on the “Ready List” for 180 days without being accepted by a U@E Attorney, the veteran is removed from U@E and is advised to hire counsel. Some cases are never accepted because the legal issue is not practiced by any of the volunteer attorneys. Sometimes the legal issue will take more hours than the volunteer is willing to give.
If the veteran’s legal issue is an emergency, consider hiring counsel directly or by visiting www.licensedlawyer.org
