About this event
Learn about the Unauthorized Practice of Law and how to avoid it as a law student. Attendees will understand the difference between legal information, facilitation services, legal advice (prohibited), and what to say to people who insist on getting “advice.”
This training is open to all current law students who want to learn about the practice of law. Although this training prepares volunteers for the “Divorce in a Day” workshop, the content and transferable skills that attendees will learn will be applicable to any scenario in which a law student encounters a request for help with a situation involving the law or legal procedure. Avoiding UPL is a practice that both non-lawyers and lawyers must maintain during their work in the legal profession and their interactions with people in their personal lives.
We will order enough pizza for about 20 attendees.
Registration is not required, but strongly encouraged to help us gauge interest, order food, and monitor participation in events. Register here.
Volunteers are needed for the Divorce in a Day workshop planned for Monday, December 7.
