Grounded in the rich history, culture and values of the national legal aid community, and offered as both an in-person and online course, Basic Lawyering Skills is, in many ways, the foundation upon which other, more advanced CLAE trainings are built. The ‘nuts and bolts’ of a lawyer’s trade – from client communication to case analysis, motion practice to counseling – are taught by seasoned practitioners, highly able and eager to impart what they have to share. New advocates are also given the tools they need to develop realistic professional development goals. Learn more about BLST in action through a recent delivery South Carolina.
