ACC NCR Pro Bono Education Series: Brown Bag Lunch with D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center

Please join the team from the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center to learn about volunteer opportunities through the Center, with a focus on clinics that in-house counsel are particularly well-suited to staff: the Brief Advice Clinics of the Nonprofit and Small Business Legal Assistance Programs. The Small Business Legal Assistance Program provides brief legal information to small business owners and prospective entrepreneurs who operate in economically disadvantaged areas or who have limited financial resources, and the Nonprofit Legal Assistance Program provides legal assistance to the District of Columbia’s community-based nonprofits. Volunteer attorneys make a one-time commitment to assist a client by helping review legal documents or answering questions about forming a business or nonprofit, taxation, real estate, employment law, or other legal issues common to these organizations. Representatives from the Pro Bono Center will share more about how you can get involved in these clinics. They will also describe the other volunteer opportunities at the Center to assist low-income residents of D.C. with legal questions in the areas of landlord/tenant, housing, public benefits, immigration, and other matters. This will offer offer a preview of the virtual Small Business Brief Advice Legal Clinic that ACC NCR and the Pro Bono Center are hosting on November 16 between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Mark your calendars. Registration details to come.
