Have you ever considered starting your own law practice but didn't know where to begin? Do you want to learn strategies and practical tips to help build your solo practice? Are you feeling overwhelmed by trying to raise a child or children and/or remain actively involved in other volunteer/bar association activities while maintaining your solo practice? Do you know where to find free or low cost resources to start or enhance your solo practice? Do you want to learn how to start your own public interest law firm and create your ideal dream job?
Please come and hear from three APA women who have decades of combined experience as solo practitioners. They will discuss their own practices in the areas of criminal defense, immigration law, and civil rights/education law, and will share practical tips and strategies so that you can walk away feeling ready to start your own practice or build your current solo practice.

Please join APAWLA and Bet Tzedek at our upcoming Family Preparedness Workshop! Families in Los Angeles County today can face a whole range of obstacles, including emergencies that may take parents out of the country and make them temporarily unable to care for their children. The consequences can be devastating - children can be left without any person having the legal authority to enroll them in school or to authorize medical treatment.
APAWLA seeks attorney and non-attorney volunteers to conduct one-on-one consultations and help equip families with the knowledge and tools necessary to provide for their children's temporary care.
MCLE-eligible training will be provided for volunteers promptly at 12:00PM.
To volunteer, please see the RSVP information above.
