Free CLE webinar 11.2 on Difficult Conversations in Pro Bono

Pro Bono Best Practices Part 4: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Pro Bono Attorneys

Date: Wednesday, November 2, 2022

Time: 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EST

Format: Free CLA Webinar via Beacon Live

Immigration is an exciting area of law that offers a range of ways for pro bono attorneys and volunteers to get involved and work directly with clients, from court appearances to filing forms to one-time legal clinics. Most of the time, representation in immigration cases consists of lawyers and clients working together harmoniously towards a common goal. This virtual training will provide information, considerations, and insights about what happens when that relationship changes and difficult conversations must be had between attorney and the person coordinating or supervising the pro bono relationship.

The presentation aims to deliver tailored guidance for supervising attorneys navigating situations that may alter the original attorney/client dynamic and how to support the pro bono attorney or volunteer during the transition.
