Ask-a-Lawyer is part of Law Week which began on Monday, May 22.
During Law Week, The Young Lawyers Division of the Hawaiʻi State Bar Association holds a yearly event that seeks to provide free legal advice through both in-person and virtual events.
The events take place across the state, and this year’s Law Week ends with the Ask-a-Lawyer events.
According to HSBA, Law Week is celebrated nationwide as a way of educating the public on the various areas of law, both state and federal; and the offer of free legal information is at the heart of the week.
On Saturday and Sunday, there will be volunteer lawyers who will be available at various locations across the state and who will provide free, in-person legal information.
The free information is for the public on a variety of legal topics.
These topics include, but are not limited to, landlord/tenant relations, family law (divorce/child custody), Bankruptcy and Estate Planning.
