Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault - Free Legal Services

This is to ask you to alert all MC Counselors to a very important opportunity for students at Montgomery College. Over the past year, MC has been working to develop relationships with community organizations that support people who are dealing with sexual violence. The Sexual Assault Legal Institute of The Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault has offered to provide free, confidential, on-campus legal counsel to students who are dealing with and want to understand legal options having to do with sexual assault.


Students can make an appointment to meet with Alexandra Hoskins, Esq. in ST 256 (TP/SS campus) on December 6 by submitting the following online form. The form goes directly to her and *does not* create any MC record of any kind. ST256 is a private meeting room, tucked away on the second floor of ST.

Tuesday, December 6, 2016 Appointments are encouraged, but not required! Please select appointment time below. If no times are visible, all appointments have been taken. Drop-ins will be seen after the last appointment at 4:30. Alexandra J Hoskins, Esq. Staff Attorney Sexual Assault Legal Institute


Note: If this address is not clickable, it can be pasted into the browser—the form will appear.

Please share this opportunity with students, and do not hesitate to forward to anyone in the MC community who could benefit. We hope to make this a monthly offering; if the "pilot" at TP/SS works, we may eventually be able to spread it to other campuses.
