Couldn’t Attend the Partnership Conference? Watch it On-Demand
10.30.2024
Hundreds of civil legal service attorneys attended the New York State Bar Association’s Partnership Conference at Albany’s Capital Center in October. If you could not attend, you can now view more than a dozen continuing legal education courses from the event on demand.The event offered more than two dozen programs and panels educating lawyers on issues such as affordable housing, immigration, education reform, consumer bankruptcy and student loan debt.
The conference opened with a program focused on the years long process for immigrants to get working papers in the United States.
Rachel Braunstein and Susanna Saul of Her Justice presented findings from the group’s recent study of how female immigrant’s lives were dramatically changed after getting a work permit or employment authorization document and landing a legal job.
Another panel highlighted the needs of vulnerable New Yorkers living in public housing. Anna Luft, public housing justice project director at New York Legal Assistance Group, explained that many public housing complexes are built near or in polluted areas.
“Segregated public housing for black people was built in less desirable areas,” Luft said. ” The result is that 70% of Superfund sites are near public housing across the country.”
The New York State Bar Association recorded and produced replays of 25 programs from the conference that you can watch on your schedule for CLE credit.
