Transactional Law Society Presents: CONTRACT DRAFTING & GOVERNMENT CONTRACT TOPICS WORKSHOP

Law Student Pro Bono Training: Tzedeck DC

 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.
