The Volunteer Lawyers Project's Economic Fairness Project has created new training manuals and a video for pro bono attorneys who represent low-income defendants in debt collection cases. To view some of these resources, you need to be a member of and logged in to massprobono.org. These resources are also made available to attorneys who attend VLP's consumer law trainings.
Funding to create these materials was provided through a Legal Services Corporation Pro Bono Innovation Fund grant.
