ABOUT THIS PROGRAM:

Touro Law Center’s Office of Institutional Advancement together with the Suffolk County Women in the Courts Committee's Access to Justice Subcommittee under the direction of Honorable Andrew J. Crecca, Suffolk County District Administrative Judge, offer a Virtual and FREE CLE in honor of Second Chances Month.

As the legal needs of economically vulnerable clients grow on Long Island, private attorneys, 18B panel attorneys, public interest attorneys, and new law graduates must explore flexible and effective ways to provide support. This session highlights common barriers to legal engagement and practical strategies for expanding access to justice through trauma-informed representation, community partnerships, and limited scope services.
