Anoka County Law Day was once again a great success. Our Criminal Expungement clinic assisted 49 people; the Family clinic assisted 48. Our Housing clinic assisted 15, and the Civil clinic assisted 12. This is in addition to over a hundred people that were able to get assistance with their fines and fees and get warrant resolutions.

This is a great event that involves a number of Anoka County departments and Court Administration all working together to help people in Anoka County get help they need to move forward.

We also want to thank Central Minnesota Legal Services, and Volunteer Lawyers Network for their help in multiple clinics on Friday and Community Mediation & Restorative Services for having their Housing Resource Navigator available for the Housing Clinic.

A huge thank you the attorneys who volunteered, whose generosity and expertise made these services possible.
