Substantive Law
At the heart of public interest work is knowledge of the law as it affects low-income people. Case handlers must be able to identify the possible issues in a case even if they’re unarticulated by clients or outside your area of emphasis. Support staff must understand the legal issues so you can be productive team members and the all-important bridges between the office and the client community. And everyone must know where to refer clients for help. These sessions introduce you to the key legal issues and the people and institutions that you can use for support.
