I wanted to share that I’ll be teaching a continuing legal education course on June 23, 2009 entitled “Introduction to Consumer Bankruptcy” sponsored by the Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project.
The course is for attorneys who are new to consumer bankruptcy practice, and it is intended to address the growing need by low-income clients for Chapter 7 pro bono assistance.
The number of people filing for bankruptcy today in New York and across the country is at an all-time high. And the goal of this course is to help train a new wave of lawyers to help members of our society deal with the financial difficulties of a very challenging economic situation that threatens to continue for quite a while.
If you’re an attorney and would like to help, or if you’d just like to learn more, read the rest of this post for the full details.
