Yes! There is a Role for Organizing in Statewide Justice Systems |
|
10:15 am - 11:45 am |
| Working with community groups and community organizing can be frustrating and time-consuming but it can often produce amazing results for low-income communities and clients. This session will examine the role of organizers as critical partners for client advocates and civil legal aid and public defense attorneys in the effort to ensure social justice in low income communities. Learn more about why organizers do what they do and how we can and should build productive partnerships with them. Participants will leave with concrete examples of successful lawyer organizer partnerships. |

The Leadership Practices Inventory is the best selling and most trusted leadership tool of its generation.
