May 2018
Modern Representation 101
A Win-Win for Lawyers and Clients
Co-sponsored by the Colorado Bar Association Modern Law Practice Initiative
Program Description:
Seize this opportunity to redefine what a successful, sustainable law practice looks like by serving the 70% of the population that currently believes they cannot afford an attorney. The Modern Law Practice Initiative is tackling head-on both the public’s and legal industry’s perception of the legal marketplace. Find out exactly how to go about building your modern law practice by attending this program on May 11!
Almost 60% of civil litigants make too much money to get a lawyer through public assistance, but don’t make enough money to hire an attorney at traditional rates. The mission of the Modern Law Practice Initiative is to serve this portion of the population. The purpose of this program is to give you the tools you need to run a thriving, sustainable, and fulfilling practice by providing legal services to this largely untapped market.
The Modern Law Practice Initiative and this program provide you with the motivation and the means to engage in this exciting new method of law practice management. Modern representation is about more than providing legal services at an affordable rate. Modern representation is about practicing law in a way that benefits both you and your clients in terms of feasibility, flexibility and versatility. MLPI’s goal is to teach you how to create a sustainable law practice that simultaneously helps solve the access to justice gap and provides you with a fulfilling and prosperous career.
