Legal Clinic 101: Housing Law with Jones Day – In House Pro Bono Group
November 3, 2020 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Our second session will be on housing issues (including Section 21 eviction notices) and will be presented by Liz Robertson and Greg Barden. You will be given a case study highlighting issues frequently seen in legal clinics, information on legislation and court forms and practical responses on how to assist your client.
The session will take place on Tuesday 3 November from 12.30 to 1.30pm.
Liz is the head of pro bono in Jones Day’s London Office who currently volunteers at legal clinics. Greg is a property litigation partner at Jones Day with extensive experience in housing disputes who has assisted pro bono volunteers on housing issues for many years.
Dial in details will be circulated before the session.
We very much hope you can make what promises to be an interesting and practical session. Please forward to in house colleagues who may be interested in volunteering at legal clinics in the future, this is an open event. The training sessions are not just open to in-house lawyers – we very much welcome and encourage private practice lawyers interested in doing pro bono to attend.
