Next, members will be placed into small teams (with one or two other attorneys) to meet with their assigned nonprofit clients. Teams will have a couple hours to help their clients identify employment law issues and to counsel their clients. Cozen O'Connor employment attorneys will be standing by to assist with challenging questions.
All ACC members are welcome, regardless of your level of experience - you do not have to be an employment attorney to participate, and you are not required to provide pro bono services to your assigned clients after this event.
Examples of the types of non-profits these events have helped in the past include:

An organization that works on behalf of low-income immigrants and refugees through advocacy, education, legal services, and other community-based services
We will close the day with the "Hard to Get" CLE Happy Hour. Cozen O'Connor will host a wine & cheese reception at your desk and offer an Elimination of Bias CLE entitled "The Supreme Court Struck Down College Race-based Student Admission Policies:
