With CCLP, learn basic organizing skills through on-the-job training, to make a difference in building organization of lasting service to those the legal profession is pledged to serve. Receive classes on organizing methods, community organizing, as well as legal and labor history. Learn to organize and build leadership, incorporating people from all walks of life to resolve legal problems born of poverty.
