A New Era of Advocacy: Substantive Law Conference and Litigation and Advocacy Directors Conference


July 21-24, 2010---Chicago, IL


Blending Expertise -- Sharing Knowledge

Two Conferences for a Changing World



In July 2010, we will be hosting concurrently the Substantive Law and Litigation and Advocacy Directors Conferences. We are motivated by this moment in time to bring together these two distinct conferences in order to facilitate dialogue between advocates and foster the exchange of information and knowledge as it relates to the work of civil legal aid. Join us for this important collaboration at this extraordinary time of new leaders, new government and new economic challenges.

2010 Substantive Law Conference


The Substantive Law Conference is for advocates from across the country seeking training on the substantive law fundamentals essential to quality representation of low-income people and communities.

The conference is designed for less experienced practitioners and practitioners seeking a refresher on the fundamentals including relatively new advocates (those with approximately five or fewer years of experience), those changing specialties and generalists. Participants with greater levels of experience in their current practice areas, however, have also found the Substantive Law Conference an engaging, informative and valuable learning experience.

Participants will gain vital information, sharpen their skills and exchange ideas with colleagues from across the country.

2010 Litigation and Advocacy Directors Conference


The Litigation and Advocacy Directors Conference is a gathering of experienced advocacy directors, senior litigators, policy analysts and cutting-edge managing attorneys - the next generation of litigation and advocacy directors - provides a not-to-be-missed opportunity to 1) learn and share cutting-edge advocacy strategies, (2) explore major trends affecting low income people, and (3) discuss effective planning and management of litigation and advocacy.

Please visit the Litigation Directors conference web page for details about this conference.
