Headquarters Library

Meeting Room A

Law in the Library is a series of presentations in which local attorneys share their expertise on pertinent legal issues.

In partnership with Three Rivers Legal Services and local attorneys, the Library District presents pertinent legal issues through our Law in the Library program series. The series takes place monthly, September through May. Each month a different topic will be discussed covering pertinent legal issues.

Do you have a suspended driver license? This session will help you understand the various rules around driver license suspension and the steps that are needed to get one's license back. 

Participants WILL NOT get their license back as part of this presentation. They will be given information on steps they may need to take to get their license back, the laws that impact driver licenses in Florida, and resources on how to get back on the road.

Samantha Howell is the Pro Bono Director at Three Rivers Legal Services and is on the planning committee for the Alachua County Driver License Reinstatement Clinic and the Fourth Judicial Circuit Driver License Reinstatement Clinic. Samantha Howell has trained dozens of attorneys and law students on the driver license reinstatement process and has participated in the clinic for three years, helping over 50 individuals get on the path to reinstatement.

Three Rivers Legal Services (TRLS) is a local, non-profit law firm that provides free legal help. With offices in Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Lake City, they provide free civil legal help to low income families in seventeen counties. TRLS is dedicated to providing quality, free legal help to individuals as well as legal information and education to groups. They concentrate on Housing Law, Family Law and Domestic Violence Prevention, Elder Law, Education Law, and Income and Public Benefits issues.
