Kansans who meet eligibility guidelines can submit up to three questions per year. Those questions are answered by volunteer attorneys on a range of legal topics, including family law, divorce, child custody, housing, evictions, consumer rights, employment, unemployment, and civil rights.

In 2023, the American Bar Association reported that nationwide the free legal answers program received 276,875 questions answered by 12,071 volunteer attorneys. Kansas Free Legal Answers will be available starting May 1 here.
