Let’s face it – legal help is expensive. But a new legal clinic has started providing low cost family law help to Arizonans. In this episode of the Modern Arizona Podcast, family law attorney and host Billie Tarascio sits down with Laura Chapman, the director of the Modern Law Clinic. Laura, who has nearly a decade of family law experience, shares the new developments and success stories from the clinic, dedicated to offering affordable legal help to those who need it most. An added bonus is that the clinic gives enthusiastic law students experience and training while under the guidance of seasoned attorneys. The clinic assists clients with tasks like drafting petitions, preparing pre-trial statements, and coaching them for court appearances.

Laura dives into the impact of the learning experiences the clinic provides for law students, who get the rare chance to represent real clients and handle actual cases. This hands-on approach not only benefits the students but also serves the community by making legal services more accessible. Laura recounts some impressive student victories, including winning attorney fee awards and negotiating settlements at the last minute, showcasing the incredible impact and growth the students achieve through their work at the clinic.

The conversation highlights Modern Law's mission to bridge the gap in legal services for those who can't afford traditional representation.
