Professional Skills Series: Avoiding Grievances when Working with Challenging Clients
Speakers: Valda Ricks, Esq, Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland; Deborah Warner Dennis, Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission
About the Professional Skills Training Series:
Each meeting typically runs from noon to 2 pm, and includes three components: a 75-minute skills training; a 20-minute exercise; and a 20-minute mentoring roundtable, where attendees can bring up litigation and other lawyering questions they’re currently facing (whether related to the presentation topic or not), and get input from the group. Experienced litigators will be present during the entire event.
Participation is open to lawyers who have already accepted a pro bono commitment through a PBRC training within the past 12 months OR who commit to answer at least three legal questions for low-income Marylanders, using the https://Maryland.FreeLegalAnswers.org website. (Instructions will be provided.) You can visit www.probonomd.org/training to accept a pro bono commitment through a PBRC training. Opportunities are statewide and through a myriad of legal services organizations.
The skills training portion of each event will be made available as an on-demand webcast recording.
