The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership is presenting a webinar entitled Delivering Telelegal Services During COVID-19: A Medical-Legal Partnership Town Hall on April 30, 2020 from 1:00 PM-2:30 PM. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing protocols have forced legal aid offices and medical-legal partnerships to deliver legal services remotely.

This town hall will address a number of the challenges presented by telelegal work, including collaborating with partners at a distance, meeting with patient-clients remotely, communicating with patient-clients who have limited access to technology, dealing with court and agency closures, signing and notarizing documents electronically, and planning for the medium- and long-term legal consequences of the pandemic.

Participants will hear from panelists with experience delivering remote medical-legal partnership services. A team from Los Angeles will speak to remote work in an urban setting, while teams from Montana and Alaska will offer perspectives on remote work in rural and frontier settings.
