Law Student Pro Bono Training: Tzedeck DC

12:15PM - 01:15PM Tenley Campus - Yuma Y115 Classroom

 Tzedek DC’s mission is to safeguard the legal rights of low-income DC residents dealing with often unjust, abusive, and illegal debt collection practices, as well as other consumer protection problems like credit reportingissues, identity theft, and predatory lending.  The consequences of adverse court judgments in debt-related cases can be devastating for a family’s well-being and stability. Volunteers (under the supervision of an attorney) are able to represent clients from start to finish on issues involving, for example, medical debt, credit card debt, bank or car loans, credit history repair, identity theft, and housing-related consumer cases.

Combating the Threat of Domestic Terrorism in the 21st Century

10:00AM - 03:30PM Tenley Campus - Warren NT01 Ceremonial Classroom

The security threats facing the United States in the post-9/11 era has drastically shifted in recent years. The rise in domestic acts of terrorism, largely committed by lone-wolf actors and right-wing extremists, has surged and poses new challenges to preventing events like the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings. This symposium seeks to assess today's threats and explore ways to bridge the gap between government, business, and nonprofit organizations to help better equip the nation in combating domestic terrorism.
