Program Description:

Your bar association understands that finding new business is a crucial part of your practice. Simultaneously, the percentage of individuals that proceed self-represented in Minnesota courts has reached crisis levels. This CLE will provide an overview of the various programs the metro bar associations administer to address these issues, and how participating in them can help you grow your practice. This overview will include the Minnesota Lawyer Referral and Information Service (MLRIS), the Reduced Fee Program, Misdemeanor Defense Project, and the MN Unbundled Law Project.
