Training Information:

This webinar offers training on consumer debt defense amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We will give an overview of the work that our staff attorneys and volunteers typically do in our CLARO program. We will also discuss the COVID-19 related consumer protections afforded under Federal and State law, including those affecting credit scores, student loans and renters. Since the pandemic struck, our New York courts that hear consumer cases have been upended — we will review the current state of the courts, the progress that has been made and what lies ahead in these uncertain times. Finally, we will talk about how we have continued to serve our CLARO clients remotely and our plans to continue and expand this service through the CLARO Remote Pilot Project.

Please register for the CLE by noon on Wednesday, October 27th (see the register button below), so that we can send you a link to the Zoom meeting.3 CLE credits available. Appropriate for newly admitted and experienced attorneys.

Amid the fall-out of the pandemic, so much is changing quickly for both legal professionals and the clients we serve. The VLP would like to take this opportunity to catch up and connect with our volunteer community and supporters.

The format is designed to be open and engaging for all who attend. VLP staff and volunteers will have opportunities to participate in conversations focused on recent COVID-19 updates and check in on one another both personally and professionally. We will also share what the VLP has been up to now that we are slowly transitioning to in-person work and leave ample time for questions about your current VLP matters, as well as discuss client representation needs and emerging trends.
