FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 13, 2006
FREE CONSUMER LEGAL GUIDES AVAILABLE AT
STATE BAR ASSOCIATION |
Need legal information about a will, bankruptcy,
nursing home admission, automobile accident, divorce, child custody or
other legal issue? Maryland consumers who seek basic information about
the law should call the Maryland State Bar Association (MSBA). MSBA
offers consumers a series of 24 legal information pamphlets free of
charge as a public service. These legal guides give consumers basic
information about common legal problems so they will be better informed
when dealing with issues affecting their families.
The brochures, prepared by volunteer attorneys who are MSBA members,
help people buy homes, file for workers’ compensation, understand
complex health benefit issues and deal with domestic violence. The
pamphlets also help consumers know what to do when they receive a
traffic ticket, are in a car accident or are arrested. Information on
when they need a lawyer is available, too.
MSBA gives these free brochures to Maryland consumers as a public
service to help educate the public about the law and promote a better
public understanding of our legal system. The series of 24 brochures is
available on MSBA’s website, www.msba.org,
by clicking on public resources. Any member of the public who wants a
copy of a brochure should contact Jason J. Zeisloft at MSBA: email –
