MCLE is pleased to sponsor its 3rd Annual Legal Services Conference 2015 which brings together the Massachusetts legal services community. Legal aid and pro bono advocates throughout the state convene to discuss the emerging legal needs of underserved communities.

Explore issues and challenges facing the LGBTQ community; discuss the realities of who enters the prison population and what impact prison has on future opportunities upon reentry; and identify the inherent obstacles to serving members of the deaf and hard of hearing communities, and learn from leading experts on resources available and strategies for effectively meeting the legal needs of this community.

You also have the opportunity to connect with newer advocates in legal services and brainstorm innovative practices, successes, and ways to participate in leadership growth, and later to celebrate some of the most important victories—inside and outside of the courtroom—that the legal services profession has claimed this year.

You don't want to miss this opportunity to connect with your colleagues, celebrate your successes, learn from your existing challenges, and ultimately leave better equipped to take on your next case.

Keynote speaker:  Mary L. Bonauto, Esq.
