Front-line service providers, advocates and lawyers are invited to attend this 1.5-hour webinar on the free legal services offered by Access Pro Bono (APB) and the Community Legal Assistance Society (CLAS). The session will be split in two parts: an overview of the programs followed by a section that will share information for lawyers on how they can get involved. Feel free to join only for the first portion and bow out for the second.
Learn about the free legal clinics each of these organizations operate and the extent of legal advice or representation assistance someone can expect. This webinar is designed to raise awareness of the services APB and CLAS offer, and the eligibility criteria people must meet to qualify for services. This information is critical to make effective referrals for those seeking free legal assistance and to better manage their expectations.
