NASHVILLE, Tenn (WTVF) — Nearly 50 people were able to get free legal help thanks to The Tennessee Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission's newest initiative.
The Tennessee Justice Bus launched last month.
The Tenessee Justice Bus is a mobile law office that brings technology to rural and underserved communities. It's a passenger van outfitted with computers, tablets, a printer, internet access, video displays, WiFi and other office supplies. Lawyers and other volunteers will be able to provide on-the-spot access to legal help and meet Tennesseans where they are.
Zachary Polen says he's excited to be part of this new legal initiative.
The future lawyer and current special projects coordinator with Access to Justice is happy to help people turn their lives around.
"We can help with eviction issues; we can help with family issues, divorces. We can help with employment issues, wrongful termination, things of that nature," Polen said.
And the list goes on.
"We can help with debtor-creditor issues, so if you're in a ton of debt, we can help you out with that. We can also help along with expungement clinics; we can help with voter rights restoration, driver's license restoration, things like that," Polen said.
The legal help is free to anyone in the state regardless of income.
