Delta Justice Center to Host 3rd Annual Pro Bono Month Legal Clinics in Southeast Arkansas

September 28th, 2026 by Submitted

In honor of pro bono month, the Delta Justice Center will partner to offer free criminal record sealing advice and document preparation clinics around Southeast Arkansas. These events will be held as follows: Friday, October 23 at the Monticello Branch Library, 114 W. Jefferson Ave, Monticello, AR 71655 and Saturday, October 24 at the Project Restoration Ministries & Resource Center, 215 E. Iowa St., Dermott, AR 71638.

Pro Bono Week promotes and supports the work of lawyers who volunteer their services for free to people and organizations who couldn’t otherwise afford legal advice. The national celebration of pro bono is held the last week of October each year.

Appointments will be limited and registration is required for participants so eligibility to seal records can be evaluated. To sign up, visit https://forms.gle/Q8ZdK9sePNhqQvtz9 or email Tabitha Lee for the registration link.

Partners for this clinic include the Monticello Branch Library, the Drew County NAACP Legal Redress Committee, and Project Outreach Ministries & Resource Center. Attorneys who would like to volunteer can contact Attorney Tabitha Lee for more information.
Criminal records – even dismissed charges – can affect entire communities by preventing access to a basic cost of living because it can result in discretionary ineligibility for jobs. Sealing criminal records provides access to a higher standard of living through better jobs, housing, and education. Sign up today to receive free legal services through this special event.
