MALS Domestic Violence Clinic

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive and/or coercive behavior used to gain or keep power and control of another person. It can include legal and illegal acts that undermine the victim’s sense of safety, self, and free will. Domestic violence includes intimate partner abuse, elder abuse, and child abuse. Memphis Area Legal Services hosts a Domestic Violence clinic that addresses these types of issues to help victims understand their rights and to answer their questions.

This clinic is supported, in part, by funds awarded by the Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice through the Tennessee Office of Criminal Justice Programs.  The opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime, or the State of Tennessee Office of Criminal Justice Programs.

The Domestic Violence Clinic will be held at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library from 10:00 AM - Noon in Meeting Room C.
