Each year, more than 2,500 people from several hundred different nonprofit organizations, government agencies and elected officials' offices, join with attorneys in private practice to attend one or more LSU organized CLE events. These classes encompass a wide range of civil practice areas involving: poverty law practice; legal skills ranging from writing to trial preparation and practice; and ethical considerations involved in the representation of low-income clients.
