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.
