DC Pro Bono Week 2024: It Takes A Village: Highlighting the Value of Pro Bono Representation in Family Law
Hosted by Children’s Law Center, D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, Legal Aid DC, and Mother’s Outreach Network.
Please join us for a lively panel discussion on the need for pro bono representation in cases impacting families. This panel will discuss challenges individuals face in securing representation and dispel myths about who our clients are. Panelists will share their experiences representing parents, third-party caregivers, and the best interests of children. We’ll also be joined by D.C. Superior Court Judge Becker who will share her view from the bench. Come learn why access to justice in family law means everyone has a lawyer. Attendees will receive information about how they can get involved, ranging from limited scope to extended representation. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in advance of the event.
Our discussion will be moderated by Jen Masi (Children’s Law Center) and participants will hear from the below panelists:
- Jenadee Nanini (D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center)
