Bridging the Digital Divide: Through the NLADA partnership with the Practicing Law Institute, we have taken the first step toward making some of the Legal Services Community training available on line. PLI has helped make available the Bridging the Digital Divide session from the 2000 Substantive Law Conference in Berkley.  Visit the PLI website, go to the Web Programs section and scroll down to Free Programs. See also the session on the Homeless Advocacy Project of the Volunteer Legal Services Program of the Bar Association of San Francisco. PLEASE give us feedback on how we can best utilize this partnership with PLI and what kind of training is best suited to internet presentation. 

New England Regional Training Consortium:  The New England Regional Training Consortium has accomplished a great deal in its first year. The Consortium wants to serve as a model for resurrecting regional training capacity and has entered into a partnership with NLADA to help move training forward in the legal services community. Click here to learn more about the Consortium and to check in on what the Committee is doing. They are starting to make some of their training materials available. Most recently they have added materials for Supervision Skills Training. Read some of the Committee's "Songs of Affirmative Litigation," and other songs from recent training sessions.

Web-Based Training: The equal justice training community is beginning to utilize some of the internet training services available.  Click here for a discussion of the recent MIE (Management Information Exchange) Planned Giving training for development officers.

NLADA / PLI CD ROM deal: The Practicing Law Institute has made its complete set of interactive CD ROM trial skills training disks available to NLADA members at incredible savings. Click here for details and disk reviews.

Life-long Learning:   "Training" is really a life-long learning process for equal justice advocates.  Click here to learn how the Project promotes this process by improving dissemination of information about training, building a consensus about the importance of increased knowledge and skill, developing national partnerships and working to improve development strategies.

  Training Resources and Information Network (TRAIN):  TRAIN is a planning and coordinating effort organized by the Project for the Future of Equal Justice to address the ongoing learning and training needs of the civil advocacy community.  TRAIN's goal is to develop a training infrastructure that will help to ensure that advocates at all levels of experience obtain the skills and substantive knowledge to provide effective, high quality service, and to nurture a new generation of leadership for equal justice.  For more information about TRAIN, or for assistance with your state or local training activities, contact at NLADA.

Training in the Legal Services Community:  During the summer of 1998, the Project produced a paper examining the current training infrastructure in legal services.  These ideas are still very current and largely unrealized.
