Event Description

Online registration for this event has closed. If you would still like to attend, please email sgrundhoefer@mnbars.org.

This event is co-sponsored by the MSBA Access to Justice Committee and the MSBA New Lawyers Section.

Minnesota has a robust legal services community that provides needed service to help the disadvantaged have access to justice. Every law firm associate should be familiar with the key elements of Minnesota’s legal services network: the need for service, who is served and why, the work done by legal aid providers, how the work is funded, and how to contribute by doing pro bono work. This CLE will explain the basics, looking at how legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and the courts all play an important role. 

Location: This is a hybrid event taking place in-person at Taft with a Zoom livestream option available.

Lunch: Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. Please arrive at 11:30am for lunch.
