Your favorite public interest program may also have an online library for its volunteer lawyers, like www.GeorgiaAdvocates.org/Library. And don't forget www.Georgia.FreeLegal Answers.org, a great website that allows you to do pro bono from your kitchen table or while hanging out at the airport.

This product is available at Amazon, Walmart, Target and other retailers.
