Group Legal
Studies show that seven out of ten employees experience one or more legal events in a year. We are pleased to offer a group legal plan that will help cover the costs of legal expenses associated with a variety of needs, including document preparation and review, family law, estate planning, traffic offenses, and more. As an Effingham County Schools employee, you have access to a variety of legal resources such as guidebooks and videos, a glossary, helpful website links, and a personal information organizer through ARAG, even if you are not enrolled in the legal plan.
