The New York City Bankruptcy Assistance Project (NYC BAP) is part of Legal Services NYC, the largest provider of civil legal services in the United States. Legal volunteers work to save New York’s most vulnerable residents from wage garnishments, property seizures, and foreclosures. We target low-income working families, for whom bankruptcy relief can make the difference between being able to participate in the economy or not.
NYC BAP seeks law student volunteers for its bankruptcy petitions program. Volunteers will take an intensive bankruptcy practice training, meet and screen potential clients, and then prepare the clients’ bankruptcy petitions under the supervision of experienced attorneys.
The training is mandatory, and will be held on Friday, January 24, 10:00am-4:30pm in Furman Hall. There will be a 45 minute break and lunch will be served. To RSVP for the training, click here.
