Podcast: Limited Scope Representation for Legal Services Providers 2009

About:
Shrinking budgets and growing demand are causing legal services, pro bono programs and legal clinics to search for more efficient ways to deliver legal assistance to low income litigants. This program is designed not only to provide the technical background to the field, but the practical skills to use limited scope representation in a volunteer lawyer setting. Faculty will describe successful models which they have developed and provide expert advice to program developers, risk managers and legal services providers to expand the nature of the services they offer and stretch program budgets using limited scope.

This program will provide best practices, risk management materials, fee agreements, and other materials, including sample fee agreements, client handouts, and other documents designed to set up a limited scope representation practice from scratch.

Risk managers will learn the benefits of limited scope, and proven methods to avoid risk. Volunteer lawyers will receive everything they need to take limited scope representation from the volunteer context and turn it into a turn-key profit center in their own practices.
