2009 PIC/LAAC Summer Series for Law Students

Public Interest Clearinghouse (PIC) and Legal Aid Association of California (LAAC) join forces once again to train law students in the PIC/LAAC Summer Series. This summer training series is designed to introduce law students to a variety of legal services programs, to support legal services programs with supplementary summer clerk trainings, and to provide additional support to law students. Participating law students include summer law clerks at legal services programs, as well as law firm summer associates interested in doing pro bono work. The program is designed to supplement the law students' on-site training and to provide additional insight on a variety of legal subjects. There are nine trainings that will take place from noon to 1pm on Mondays and Thursdays beginning June 8, 2009. The trainers will use the online tool GoToWebinar to present materials to the students, so there is no travel or cost associated with participation.
