CPBO at the ACC Annual Meeting in The Big Easy
The PBEye is pleased to announce that the CPBO team will be traveling to New Orleans for the ACC 2014 Annual Meeting. The meeting, held October 28 – 31, will feature in-house pro bono at the following events:
Clinic in a Box® Program Training ♦ Wednesday, October 29
This training session is for ACC Chapters and legal departments interested in co-hosting a Clinic in a Box® program. Developed by CPBO, these half-day legal audit clinics provide in-house counsel the opportunity to advise nonprofit organizations or small businesses while earning CLE credit. To obtain a limited support license, co-hosts must first either have hosted a clinic in the past or attend this training, during which CPBO will provide detailed instruction on hosting these events. (Note that registration is required and there is a separate fee to participate in this program.)
Pro Bono Breakfast ♦ Thursday, October 30
At this breakfast, attendees will meet with other in-house counsel interested in pro bono and learn about pro bono trends and best practices from CPBO. Please let CPBO Project Assistant Josh Lefebvre know if you plan to attend the breakfast.
Session: In-House Pro Bono: How to Start ♦ Thursday, October 30
Get an overview of how to start a pro bono program in your legal department or ACC chapter through guidance and best practices; and learn of specific opportunities available to in-house pro bono programs, no matter the size of the ACC chapter or legal department.
Meet with CPBO ♦ Tuesday, October 28 – Friday, October 31
CPBO always looks forward to meeting with attendees when they have free time between programs. If you are interested in sitting down with CPBO for a few minutes to discuss options and initiatives for yourself, your legal department, or your chapter, contact CPBO to set up a time that is convenient for you. Or, stop by the CPBO booth in the exhibit hall to see new resources and chat with the CPBO team.
