Birchbark Civil Counsel (Demo)

Birchbark Civil Counsel is a fictional St. Paul desk for housing, public benefits, and family matters. Volunteer lawyers meet neighbors at evening clinics, and staff stay on the file through the first hearing. The program is invented for a staging directory and is not a real Minnesota legal aid office. This overview is long on purpose so the directory card can show a trimmed line instead of the whole paragraph.
