The Association
sponsors the Neighborhood Law School
These forums were designed to bring legal services to the community for free.
Members have volunteered their services on this day and have helped members
of the community in a variety of legal areas, such as: landlord and tenant
issues, wills and estates, and small claims matter, just to name a few.
Community Service
Programs
The Association sponsors a variety of community service programs. Every year
the community service committee gets together to plan new and exciting programs
for the community. Law Day is one of the many programs that the Association
has every year. Law Day is an annual nationwide event aimed at raising the
public conscience of citizen's rights and increasing the understanding of
the role of attorneys in society. The Association has made a tradition of
visiting local high schools and fielding questions from the students.
CLE Programs
The Association has sponsored numerous legal seminars on topics such as Surrogate's
Court Practice, Entertainment Law, Real Estate, Civil Procedure and the General
Practice of Law. These forums and training programs afford excellent opportunities
for participants to broaden their knowledge of the law and gain Continuing
Legal Education credit.
Scholarship Program
Each year deserving young law school aspirants are granted financial aid to
assist in the furtherance of their legal education.
