Who is ready for the Houston Young Lawyers Association's Summer of Service?!?
In support of the transformative work of the Texas Legal Services Center – which provides free legal services for underserved Texans statewide – HYLA has agreed to participate in Texas Free Legal Answers’ (TxFLA) Summer of Service project!
From June 6 to August 29, young lawyers across the state will be competing to get the most legal questions answered and the most attorneys involved! An award will be given to the region that answers the most questions on TxFLA as well as the region that has the highest attorney participation. In addition, an award will be given to the individual attorney that answers the most questions throughout the summer!
HYLA will compete as part of the East Region, which includes Galveston, Fort Bend, Bryan and College Station! Ready to join us for a fun summer of giving back? Please read below for important next steps:
