PILC: Legal Services NYC Bankruptcy Assistance Project Training
245 Sullivan Street NY ,10012 (view map)
This event is not open to the public.
The New York City Bankruptcy Assistance Project (NYC BAP) is part of Legal Services NYC, the largest provider of civil legal services in the United States. Legal volunteers work to save New York’s most vulnerable residents from wage garnishments, property seizures, and foreclosures. We target low-income working families, for whom bankruptcy relief can make the difference between being able to participate in the economy or not.
NYC BAP seeks law student volunteers for its bankruptcy petitions program. Volunteers will take an intensive bankruptcy practice training, meet and screen potential clients, and then prepare the clients’ bankruptcy petitions under the supervision of experienced attorneys.
The training is mandatory, and will be held on Friday, February 10, in Furman Hall Classroom 214 from 10:00am-4:30pm. There will be a 45 minute lunch break. Lunch will be served. To RSVP for the training, click here.
Following the training, if you are interested in participating in BAP, please send your name, email address, and phone number to Phuong Tran at pt58@mercury.law.nyu.edu to set up a screener interview.
