The Association of Pro Bono Counsel and the National Association for Law Placement are sponsoring a free, national, online training session for attorneys beginning extended public service placements at legal aid programs and other public interest organizations.

The session will provide an overview of the differences in law firm and nonprofit practice settings, insight on working with low-income clients and background on the current economic challenges confronting the public interest community.

The session will be led by a panel of leaders in the legal aid community and private bar. It will be held on Sept. 9 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
