Description

Join us for an informative webinar led by LAAC’s own director, Salena Copeland, designed to clarify the commonly used acronyms in our legal aid community. Whether you’re new to the field (Welcome!) or looking to sharpen your knowledge, this training will help you navigate the complex landscape of legal aid organizations, government programs, funding schemes, and advocacy networks. We’ll break down the meanings of critical abbreviations, from IOLTA to CalATJ, and explain their role in ensuring access to justice for low-income Californians. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the acronyms you encounter every day and how they fit into the broader legal aid ecosystem. Perfect for attorneys, paralegals, intake staff, grant administrators, advocates, and anyone interested in legal aid in California.
