Regular Delivery of Core Courses

The Legal Services Training Consortium is committed to a regular schedule of core advocacy skills courses with some offered annually, others bi-annually and still others on a less frequent basis. CLAE’s laddered curriculum of core advocacy skills training provides a continuum of professional learning with courses geared for distinct groups of legal aid staff – program and litigation directors, new and more experienced attorneys, non‐attorney advocates, intake staff and others.
