Philadelphia VIP logoPhiladelphia VIP is hosting Virtual Training: Custody 101 for VIP Volunteers on August 5, 2021 from 12:00 PM-1:00 PM.

Every day, custody litigants who can’t afford a lawyer struggle to properly present evidence and make themselves heard in court. This summer, as pandemic restrictions are lifted and long-delayed court dates are scheduled, VIP is seeing a surge in custody clients in need of a volunteer attorney.

Please join VIP Staff Attorney Todd Nothstein and VIP volunteer Sarah Katz of Temple University’s Beasley School of Law for an introductory overview of custody practice in Philadelphia. This training aims to help attorneys feel comfortable and energized to volunteer on VIP custody cases. If you have never taken a custody case, but you are interested in helping Philadelphia families navigate these tough decisions, this is the training for you.

This training will take place via Zoom. Zoom meeting information will be provided after registration.
