Free Confidential Legal Help for Ripon Students
Ripon College connects students with Law for Learners, a program offering free, confidential legal help to Wisconsin learners whose legal problems might otherwise stand in the way of their education or career goals. Students facing legal obstacles can connect with legal service providers for advice, general assistance, or referrals on a wide range of matters. Students don’t need to be certain their issue qualifies as a legal problem before reaching out; they can simply discuss the situation with a provider to figure out next steps.

Legal problems can take over your life and keep you from achieving your goals, like going to school or getting a job. Law for Learners connects you with free, confidential legal help so you can overcome legal obstacles and move forward with your life.
The help you receive may include advice, general assistance, or referral on these and other legal matters.
