The Legal Hotline gives users quick, free access to FAC’s lawyers for questions about access to public records and your right to attend government meetings in California; access to court documents and proceedings in California and federal courts; and First Amendment protections for freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Please note what the Hotline is not. It is not for legal questions outside these areas of law. And it does not provide legal services or legal representation, like preparing documents or appearing in court.
FAC makes this service free, thanks to support from people like you. Help keep FAC’s programs free and consider making a contribution of any size. All of FAC’s supporters and members are given priority in access to Hotline attorneys.
We’d also like to invite you to join FAC. Membership is free.
