The EdLaw Project
advocates for low-income families and children in matters of school
discipline and special education. The program is seeking attorneys who
are looking for the opportunity assist low-income children with disabilities
who are struggling to get the support they need in
school; families need attorneys to represent their children’s special education
rights.
This training will provide an introduction to representing children in these
cases. You do not need to have litigation experience to be a great
advocate in this venue. Negotiation skills and an ability to work with
families and children are most important. Also, this project is unique in
that if you take a case, the EdLaw Project will partner you with one of their
attorneys who will support you every step of the way. We invite you to
attend, learn, and consider if this is an effort you can lend your talent to
either now or in the future. You will also learn a lot about a student’s
rights at school that maybe helpful for your own family!
