Lawyers in the Library Disclosure Form

Welcome to the Lawyer in the Library Program at LA Law Library! This program is designed to provide you a brief consultation with an attorney to provide general legal information, referrals to public agencies or legal
service providers or a referral to a Lawyer Referral Service. If you already have an attorney, we will not be able to help you. This service is for self-represented individuals only.

The volunteer attorney assigned to you is not “your attorney” and does not represent you. Rather, the attorney will provide brief legal information during your consultation. Similarly, LA Law Library Staff do not provide legal advice and there is no attorney-client relationship between you and any person at the LA Law Library. LA Law Library and its volunteer lawyers will not go to court, appear at any legal proceedings, file documents or take any action other than giving information and advice at the time of your Law Library visit. You should consult with your own attorney if you want personalized advice or strategy or to be represented by an attorney in court.

Communications between you and the attorney(s) with whom you speak will be treated as confidential. However, LA Law Library or the attorney(s) with whom you consult may provide information and assistance to other litigants or individuals whose interests are not aligned with yours.

By signing below, you consent to your story and the services provided to you being used anonymously by LA Law Library to conduct outreach about the Library and promote the Lawyers in the Library program.

LA Law Library is not responsible for the content or accuracy of any legal information or advice you may receive during the program or the outcome of your case or matter.
Release of Liability:
I have read this Disclosure or have had it read to me. I understand this document and hereby release the LA Law Library and any attorneys present from any claim, liability or damages arising out of or in connection with receiving information or assistance under this program.

We invite you to participate in our most popular program! Here are a few things you should know:

- Attorneys will provide procedural advice about filling out forms but will not fill out your forms.

- We do our best to facilitate helpful consultations but cannot provide guaranties, given the popularity of the program, the dependence on volunteers and the broad range of issues.

- Each person is allowed two visits per year. A missed appointment will count as one of those two sessions unless cancelled at least 48 hours in ahead.

- After submitting this form, you should receive an email confirmation right away. If you do not receive a confirmation, please check your spam folder and approve LA Law Library as a sender in your email system.

- This program is not a substitute for legal representation.
