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.
