Poverty Law Conference
Texas Lawyers Care will host its 13th annual Poverty Law Conference on April 14-16, 2010 at the Sheraton Austin.
The
Poverty Law Conference is the place to learn about the latest developments in civil law. This three-day event, designed primarily
for legal services advocates and attorneys providing pro bono civil legal
services, provides valuable training on poverty law issues affecting low-income
and poor Texans. The conference will feature presentations from some of
the most knowledgeable poverty law practitioners and private attorneys in
their respective fields. One of the most appealing aspects of the conference
is that it offers targeted continuing legal education with a specific public
interest focus. What you can expect from Texas Lawyers Care’s
13th Annual Poverty Law Conference: A multi-tracked substantive curriculum
focusing on all aspects of poverty law practice, including, but not limited to, family, housing, consumer,
immigration and public benefits The opportunity to learn
from successful practitioners, within legal services and the private sector A broad-based program
offering valuable sessions, whether you are a seasoned advocate, generalist or new legal services attorney An
open forum where you can meet and network with colleagues who represent
low-income and poor Texans A full year’s worth
of CLE credit at a cost that can’t be beat, and of the quality that you’ve come to expect from Texas
