People's Law College slated for January 25

The Oakland County Bar Association will host a People’s Law College on Wednesday, Jan. 25 at the Ferndale Public Library from 6-8 p.m.

The free event, sponsored by the Oakland County Bar Foundation, is designed to help educate members of the community on different areas of the law and to assist attendees in finding answers to their legal questions with first-hand insight from noted Oakland County attorneys.

This year’s keynote speaker will be Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner, who will present “Property Taxes:  What to Do if You Can’t Pay” from 6-6:50 p.m.

Two additional seminars, taking place simultaneously from 7-7:50 p.m., will be “Anatomy of a Divorce” with Kelly Bidelman, from the Legal Aid & Defender Association, and “Employment Issues: Know Your Rights” with Syeda Davidson, from Burgess Sharp & Golden.

“We are also offering a free ‘Ask-a-Lawyer’ session for the duration of the program,” said Merri Lee Jones, professional development director for the OCBA. “We are looking for volunteer attorneys in the areas of juvenile, family, bankruptcy, probate, criminal, general civil and landlord/tenant law. We also need an intake attorney to help determine client needs.”

Please contact Merri Lee Jones at (248) 334-3400 if you are able to volunteer for part or all of the evening. The Ferndale Public Library is located at 222 E. 9 Mile Road.
