by experienced practitioners and a HANDS-ON 50 hour Pro Bono Practicum that will provide
participants with the opportunity to:
• gain client interviewing skills,
• represent clients in court,
• negotiate with opposing counsel, and
• argue before a judge

  • CLE Credit Comments: Gain invaluable experience in lawyering while helping some of New York’s most disadvantaged civil litigants obtain due process of law. Participants are supervised on site by attorneys with expertise in Consumer Debt, Housing and Divorce law. *In return for 18 CLE credits and 10 pro bono CLE credits, participants are required to complete a 50 hour pro bono practicum assisting litigants in NYC Housing, Civil and Supreme Courts within 6 months of training. (Newly admitted attorneys may use pro bono service credits on a carry-over basis.) Service in this program also fulfills the 50 hour pro bono requirement for NY bar admission if needed.
