The Allegheny County Bar Association Access to Justice Committee is presenting a CLE program entitled Intersections in Areas of Law Impacting Individuals with Low Incomes on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 from 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Eastern.

Individuals with very low incomes who are struggling to meet their basic needs sometimes face a number of legal issues concurrently. For example, criminal convictions can impact eligibility for housing benefits, immigration relief and child custody. A protection from abuse order may keep a person from clearing a criminal record through the pardon process. This program will alert practitioners to intersections between criminal, family, housing and immigration law and raise potential impacts that attorneys should explore further when representing clients.
