CLE: Closing the Gap – Representing the Underrepresented Virtually
February 10, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Closing the Gap’s goal is to connect rural low-income housing and consumer clients to a volunteer remotely. The volunteer, any attorney licensed to practice in the State of New York, can provide limited scope representation by using innovative technology by accessing the Closing the Gap website. Rural low-income tenants and consumers in northeastern New York are otherwise provided with advice-only due to the lack of Legal Aid Society resources. Closing the Gap provides pro se litigants with a resource when appearing in court and responding to their civil matters.
This is a free training for:
- Attorneys who are admitted to practice in New York State and who commit to providing virtual pro bono assistance to low-income LASNNY clients for two (2) Closing the Gap cases
- Legal services and public interest attorneys
- Law students
- LASNNY PAI (pro bono) volunteers
- Court Personnel
If you do not meet the above, please contact Mallory Gibson to pay the $90 registration fee.
