Public Interest Law Day

Philadelphia • Wed., Dec. 11, 2013

Whether you are a new or seasoned private practitioner, a public interest attorney, or a pro bono attorney, this course focuses on issues that are currently hot topics throughout the legal community!

Delivering public interest law to poor and disadvantaged citizens is a job that is largely undertaken by the more than thirty public interest law organizations in the Philadelphia area, as well as the numerous volunteer pro bono attorneys. Public Interest Law Day is designed to assist these practitioners and their colleagues throughout Pennsylvania in continuing to provide high-quality legal services to this under-served population. In addition to attorneys in public interest practice, this program will be of interest to pro bono practitioners and private practice attorneys who are interested in learning more about public interest law and other timely issues affecting the pro bono community.
