Legal Clinic
IPP hosts a bi-monthly drop-in legal clinic via Zoom every first Tuesday of the month from 4 PM-5 PM Central Time and every third Saturday of the month from 9 AM-10 AM CST.
Our legal clinic will provide legal advice and consultation to people who have loved ones incarcerated in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Clinic hours will focus on commutation and administrative remedies, and they are a great opportunity to ask questions directly to one of our attorneys. To register for the clinic, fill out the form below.
