About the Project
At
the Fair Debt Collection Lawyer for the Day project, volunteer
attorneys assist low-income debtors and creditors on Wednesdays at the
Boston Municipal Court in the Brooke Courthouse on a Limited Assistance
Representation (LAR) basis. LAR means that the attorney only represents
the client in the proceeding (case management conference, motion, etc.)
before the court that day. The representation begins and ends on the
same day. The project is a joint effort of the Volunteer Lawyers
Project, Senior Partners for Justice, and the Litigation Section of the
Boston Bar Association.
This project offers attorney a unique
opportunity to get courtroom experience in a supportive and collegial
environment. Because representation is limited to one day, it is also a
good project for busy attorneys who want to help but have limited time.
For all, this project is a great way to meet and network with other
attorneys.
