Fall 2011 HotDocs & A2J Training
LawHelp Interactive will be holding its Fall 2011 HotDocs and A2J Training on August 11-12, 2011 at the Chicago-Kent College of Law, Chicago, Illinois.
The training will have one beginner track for people who are new HotDocs and A2J author. If there is enough interest, an advanced track will be developed with help from those requesting advanced training. The training will be taught by Capstone Practice Systems and the Center for Access to Justice and Technology at Chicago-Kent.
Registration for this training is free to participating legal aid and pro bono program staff as well as selected court system staff.
Travel, Lodging, and Meals
Participants are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and meal costs. Do not make any arrangements until Pro Bono Net confirms your registration. Depending on interest we may organize a group outing to go out to dinner on Thursday evening. This is a voluntary event and optional and the costs of the dinner are not covered by the training organizers.
