The Moran Center for Youth Advocacy’s School-Based Civil Legal Clinic (“SBCLC”) provides students’ families in Evanston/Skokie School District 65 with free legal advice and representation regarding a wide variety of issues impacting the students’ ability to stay in and succeed in school. This upcoming workshop will help pro bono attorneys learn how to conduct comprehensive, yet efficient, case intakes. Participants will learn what trauma-informed interviewing looks like and receive training on client-centered lawyering.
