PLEASE NOTE: Training participants must agree to accept two pro bono referrals from one of the sponsoring organizations.

Pro bono training sessions are not MCLE-accredited.

This training will cover advocacy strategies for consumers with no health insurance, public health benefits or private insurance who have medical debt and/or are being denied insurance coverage for treatment; enforcing consumer protections under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act; and determining when bankruptcy may be a consumer's best option. The training prepares attorneys to handle cases through the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Program Health Care Access Project.

Training is appropriate for attorneys and attorney/paralegal teams (paralegals must attend with an attorney). Attorneys must be admitted to practice in D.C., have an application pending to be admitted to practice in D.C. or be a government employee authorized to practice under Rule 49.

Cost: $25 for attorneys; $15 for paralegals
