SUMMARY:Special Topics in Domestic Violence Law
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\nThis annual October training is an opportunity to train our volunteer attorneys as well as recruit new attorneys into the Project Together program during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Since its inception in 1997\, Project Together’s primary focus has been aimed at recruiting\, training\, and coordinating volunteer lawyers to represent indigent clients referred to the Wake County Volunteer Lawyers program at Legal Aid\, in matters involving domestic violence protective orders (“50B hearings”).

We also will look at how to consider safety planning when a client expresses fear and facts indicate that the abuse is still happening during your representation. We will hear from District Court Judges in Wake County on the latest trends and issues DV Civil Court. Finally\, we learn about the options under the law to have a child as a plaintiff or when a custodian files “on behalf of” a child in a domestic violence protective order case and the impact of a temporary custody order in that case. \nWe will be serving heavy hors d’oeuvres (including vegetarian options) and providing materials including the Legal Aid DV Manual for attendees. The manual contains detailed instructions on how to best represent our clients as well as gives a background on domestic violence.

SUMMARY:Pro Bono Volunteer Training: Disaster Housing Issues
DESCRIPTION:Currently\, there are 31 FEMA disaster-declared counties in North Carolina as a result of Hurricanes Florence and Michael. Through the Disaster Legal Services Hotline (1-833-242-3549) over 150 clients already have been paired with an attorney volunteer for disaster-related legal assistance. The vast majority of Hotline callers have questions and legal needs related to housing issues — landlord/tenant questions\, repairs\, and initial FEMA or insurance claims. \nDuring this training\, pro bono attorney volunteers will learn more about how best to assist Disaster Legal Services Hotline callers with housing-related questions and legal needs. The program speaker is Sarah K. Dixon\, Staff Attorney with Legal Aid of North Carolina. \nThere are a limited number of seats for the in-person training. An unlimited number of registrants can participate by webcast (a link to the webcast will be emailed to you upon registration). \nThis program is brought to you by the NC Bar Foundation\, the NC Pro Bono Resource Center\, and Legal Aid of North Carolina.
