Workshop on Community Lawyering Clinics at Harvard Law School

The Harvard Law School Office of Clinical & Pro Bono Programs will be holding a Workshop on Community Lawyering Clinics on Friday, November 14, 2008, from 9 am to 5 pm (with a reception to follow). This will be the first in a series of Clinical Workshops to be held at Harvard Law School.

The format is an all-day workshop. From 9 am to noon, Professors Juliet Brodie, Sameer Ashar, and Scott Cummings will present sequentially their recent scholarship on community lawyering, with two to three commentators responding to each. This session will be followed by lunch, with Michael Gregory serving as the luncheon speaker. After lunch, there will be two additional sessions, from 1:45 to 3:15 pm, and then from 3:30 to 5 pm. The first afternoon session, facilitated by Jeff Selbin and Peggy Maisel, will focus on programmatic design of community lawyering clinics. The second session, on curriculum in community lawyering clinics, will be facilitated by Nancy Cook and Shin Imai. A reception will be held 5 to 7 pm.

If you are able to attend, please RSVP by Monday, November 10, 2008.  -jl
