Somali Language Website launched

The largest Somali population resides in the Twin Cities area. And now there is a website that can help Somali speaking people find legal resources to help with a variety of issues.

The Minnesota Legal Services Coalition recently launched a Somali language legal website. Somalilawhelp.org is a one-stop shop for low-cost legal resources. Visitors can find help for legal matters ranging from divorce to immigration.

They can also access booklets, videos, court forms and a legal glossary -- all in the Somali language. The site is an extension of Lawhelpmn.org, which also carries a version in Spanish. It was developed by the Minnesota Legal Services Coalition, which aims to provide poor Minnesotans with help on their civil legal matters.
