Attorney Assistance Program
Want to Help?
FRRC has partnered with the League of Women Voters to develop a pro bono Attorney Assistance Program that will help returning citizens determine eligibility and pursue modification options when needed.
FRRC is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that every one of the 1.4 million people who were re-enfranchised with the passing of Amendment Four have a pathway to vote. Pro bono attorneys can assist returning citizens in researching their sentences and modifying the sentences if necessary.
If interested in joining us to help people break down the barriers to voting presented by outstanding financial obligations, please click on the link below to register for the Florida Bar-approved webinar, eligible for up to 2 hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit.
