Legal Assistance for the Public

Battling a legal issue can be a daunting task. When facing litigation, it may be difficult to understand the problem or decide whether to hire an attorney or act alone as a self-represented litigant.

The George Mason University Law Library cannot provide legal advice or assistance. We created this guide to help members of the public find legal assistance in the state of Virginia. 

Most of Scalia Law's clinics do not accept clients on a call or walk-in basis. Active-duty service members, dependents, and veterans of the military who are in need of legal assistance should contact the Mason Veterans and Servicemembers Legal Clinic (M-VETS) at 703-993-8214 or visit the M-VETS Application Page to submit an intake application.

If you have any questions about this guide, please contact us at lawref@gmu.edu or give us a call at (703) 993-8076.
