Albany City Court Attorney for A Day Program
The ACBA and Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York plan to launch an “Attorney-For-A-Day” program in Albany City Court on October 22nd, as part of National Pro Bono Week. This is a unique project for our area, allowing us, with the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York, to serve numerous clients who are facing eviction. If you are interested in volunteering please call 518-445-7691, ext 13. In anticipation of the program’s kick-off, a free training will be held on Wednesday, October 13, from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. in the Jury Assembly Room of the Albany County Judicial Center. This program is funded in part under the auspices of The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region.
