Webinars/Multiple dates/ New & Deferred Lawyers

"The Public Interest Clearinghouse (PIC) and the Legal Aid Association of California (LAAC) are conducting a free training series for deferred associates in public interest placements.

The 2009 Intro to Legal Services Trainings for Deferred Associates course is designed as a 9-part series of webinars to introduce deferred associates to legal services work (including the structure of the community in CA and the history of legal services), some issue-spotting on core poverty law issues (housing, immigration, public benefits, etc) and an introduction to skills (client interviewing, cultural competency, etc.)

All deferred associates, as well as other new attorneys and other advocates, are welcome to join us for this training series."

COMMENT:
This training appears to be open to all new attorneys and other advocates. Use your best judgment as to what that means.

I see nothing in this announcement concerning CLE credit; however, in some jurisdictions you may be able to apply for credit on your own, especially considering the subject matter of some of the webinars. Figuring out how to do this is the price of getting free CLE --- REW
