Legal issues covered in the appointments include family law, consumer issues, wills and probate, property law, tax law, HIV/AIDS, and veterans benefits, as well as other civil legal problems.

Applicants are required to provide identification and proof of income. Some exceptions to residence and income requirements may apply to special groups such as veterans.
