Free Legitimation Assistance When You Join the Brotherhood
Through a partnership with the Resource Justice Center, Legal Aid, Georgia State and several other supporters we are able to provide legitimation workshops where we help FIRE program graduates and those registered in cohorts understand the process for completing their legitimation paperwork and filing their petitions on-line and in person.
Volunteers from Legal Aid, top law firms, Georgia State law students, FIRE alums and other partners answer questions, and provide examples of properly completed documents.
As a requirement to be eligible for a legitimation 102 session you must watch our Intro to legitimation video and complete the associated in-take questionnaire.
