Overview

Why you should attend

Disabled children and adults need your help!  Learn federal practice as you learn how to represent disabled children and adults who need your assistance following denials of their claims by the Social Security Administration.

After denial of an initial disability claim, claimants  frequently find a possible appeal to be confusing, difficult, and even overwhelming.  Many claimants cannot afford legal representation and must navigate the appeals process on their own.

By attending this free PLI program, you will learn about social security disability claims, and how to represent disabled children and adults in their appeals from denials of their claims by the Social Security Administration.  You will also learn about federal practice, within the context of social security disability, which will have broader application to anyone practicing in the federal courts.

Regardless of your area of practice, this program is a perfect vehicle for attorneys interested in learning more about federal practice and social security disability and getting involved in pro bono opportunities with legal service organizations.

What you will learn

In just three hours, you will learn the basics of Social Security law and practice, in the context of federal practice, including how to gather and analyze medical evidence, the examination of parties and witnesses, drafting effective pre-hearing memoranda, and oral argument.

Who should attend

All attorneys (whether practicing in a law firm, in-house , or in solo practice) interested in learning about social security disability, expanding their knowledge of federal practice, and assisting disabled children and adults in their appeals.
