Residents requesting assistance with legal matters are encouraged to consult with their legal representative. However, the tablet and kiosk, in your housing unit, contains a law library app. A typewriter will be made available in each housing unit for your use during your legal library time. Requests within reason for photocopies of legal materials can be made to your Case Manager.
