SUMMARY:November Housing Law Sidebar
DESCRIPTION:The Housing Law Sidebar is a time for VLN housing staff and volunteers to eat a (virtual) lunch together\, learn about a housing topic\, and socialize with one another.

Volunteers are encouraged to share stories of their experiences with housing cases with one another and maybe learn a little! This is casual and for all our volunteers – brand new and experienced alike!\n\n\n\nJoin our November Housing Law Sidebar to learn more about the Rent Escrow process.

SUMMARY:VLN Core Trainings: An Introduction to Pro Bono Administrative Law Cases at VLN
DESCRIPTION:Details: Do you practice administrative law or want to learn administrative law and also have an interest in doing pro bono work?  Volunteer attorneys from Volunteer Lawyers Network (VLN) advise and represent low-income clients in administrative law matters.  Volunteer Lawyers Network provides free legal services to individuals who have been disqualified from working at facilities licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) due to negative information appearing on background checks.  DHS background checks are required in jobs where workers have access to vulnerable populations such as daycare providers\, foster care providers\, in-home personal care attendants\, and nursing assistants at nursing homes and assisted living facilities.  Learn how to advise clients who have been disqualified from employment by DHS regarding their rights and whether or not they have a valid reason to request reconsideration or argue that they do not pose a risk of harm to vulnerable individuals served by programs that DHS licenses. If you are interested in doing this type of pro bono administrative law case\, then this CLE is for you. \nPresenters: Glen Drew is an attorney and the director of legal programs at Volunteer Lawyers Network.  Glen previously coordinated and managed VLN’s civil law and administrative law programs for over a decade.  Prior to joining VLN\, Glen was a volunteer in the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps. \nSebastian Ellefson is the Program Manager and Resource attorney for the Civil and Administrative Law Program at VLN. Before this\, he was a Housing Project Attorney with VLN\, the Principal Elections Researcher at BallotReady\, and a Mortgage Foreclosure Case Manager for the Cook County Court System. \nLocation: Zoom. \nRegistration: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1slkd7VaTSGZAfoRDNAqlw#/ \nCLE: 1 Standard CLE Credit to be applied for
