Nonprofit law firms have been with us for ten years, yet
it's remarkable how little most lawyers understand them. Some, such as
Minnesota's own Gender Justice, blaze
trails through impact litigation and policy advocacy. Others, such as
Utah's Open Legal Services, are
creating new models to deliver affordable legal services to clients in the
justice gap. Join us for a conversation with Gender Justice's Lisa
Stratton and Open Legal Services' Shantelle Argyle to learn how nonprofit
law firms complement both public and private lawyers, and how they can serve as
referral partners, teachers, and change agents in the community. Brought
to you by the MSBA Solo & Small Section and the Collaborative Community Law Initiative
.
Lunch and registration will begin
