Courthouse Assistance Program CAP Student Training

CAP Student Training

For those of you seeking a unique pro bono opportunity and HANDS ON COURTROOM EXPERIENCE, please attend our informational session presented by Judge Otey and attorneys from Hall Estill, Williams and Legal Aid to learn more.  Here are just a few of the benefits:

  • Help the Tulsa County Courthouse, Judges and Attorneys as well as give back to your community;

  • Observe first hand courtroom experience and learn how to communicate effectively with clients;

  • Establish a positive rapport  within the legal community;

  • Learn about landlord/tenant law; and

  • BOOST YOUR LEGAL EXPERIENCE AND RESUME!

The initial phase of the program involves volunteer attorneys at the Forcible Entry and Detainer ("FED") Docket.  The attorneys are available to meet with unrepresented parties who meet certain income guidelines in the courtroom after the docket is called and, if necessary, to represent them at the hearings and/or conferences which take place that day.  THE ATTORNEYS NEED YOUR HELP WITH THIS DOCKET.  The training will be held on February 23rd at lunch (and will count for 1 Professional Development Credit for 3Ls).
