Orlando Center for Justice discusses the requirements to apply for citizenship and will have staff staging mock interviews in small groups to help you learn what to expect. Registration Recommended.
After hearing private attorneys having to turn away individuals who could not afford private representation and having almost nowhere to refer them and seeing a legal aid organization having to wind down and close their doors leaving a void in the community it previously served, three women frustrated by seeing clients alone in court, decided our city could be the home to a solution. With the support of a team of community attorneys willing to serve on our board, OCJ was born. Our goal was to create a system that would help to keep our doors open even if funding was reduced and help close the access to justice gap in Florida so many in the legal community were concerned about. Now we hope we can inspire future lawyers to do the same.

Después de ver a una organización de asistencia legal tener que cerrar sus puertas dejando un vacío, tres mujeres frustradas por ver a los clients solos en la corte, decidieron que nuestra ciudad podría ser el hogar de una solución. Con el apoyo de un equipo de abogados comunitarios dispuestos a server en nuestra comunidad, nació OCJ. Nuestro objetivo era crear un Sistema que ayudaría a mantener nuestras puertas abiertas, incluso si la financiación se redujo. Ahora esperamos que podamos inspirar a los futuros abogados a hacer lo mismo.
