Welcome Florida Legal Aid!

Hey Florida - we're delighted to be properly establishing ourselves in your part of town! June's Basic Lawyering Skills was our first fully fledged Florida training of 2008, and, we're happy to report, a great success. September's Community Lawyering training was similarly impactful. We received excellent feedback from participants and are looking forward to meeting and working with more of you soon.

This is your page. As we announce more and more upcoming Florida trainings, this is where we'll do it. Please, then, bookmark this page and check back regularly for training updates, legal aid news pertinent to your region, registration links and more... We're glad to have your support and attention.
