COMMUNITY LAWYERING
December 8 - 11, 2009
Promoting an expansive view of a legal aid lawyer's role, Community Lawyering underlines the importance of thinking beyond litigation in addressing the kind of major problems that too often face legal aid clients (while retaining litigation as a vital tool). Addressing the pressing issues of a recognizable case study, participants learn the multi-tactic tools of a successful advocacy campaign, including media and outreach skills, facilitative leadership, action research, targeted planning, campaign feasibility and power analysis. You will also explore the relationship between traditional lawyering and these other disciplines and how, as a lawyer, to contribute most effectively to broad based advocacy campaigns. 'Tales from the trenches' - stories of successful legal services partnerships with campaign based advocacy efforts - enrich this learning experience, while effort is always made to tailor this training to your particular concerns and needs.
