Pennsylvania (PBA) Free Legal Answers is a virtual legal advice clinic run by the Pennsylvania Bar Association in in collaboration with ABA Free Legal Answers. The purpose of the program is to increase access to advice and information about non-criminal legal matters to those who cannot afford it.

Qualifying users post their civil legal question to the Pennsylvania website portal on ABA Free Legal Answers, providing facts about their case that will help the lawyer answer the question. Users also select a category (such as “housing” or “debt”) that best describes their question so that attorneys experienced in that area of the law can volunteer to address the question. 

Volunteer attorneys, who must be authorized to provide pro bono assistance in their state, log in to the website, select questions to answer, and provide information and basic legal advice through the portal without any expectation of long-term representation. 

More information on the program is available in the Frequently Asked Questions from Pennsylvania Volunteer Attorneys.
