It means that an NLSP attorney might meet a client at their home when they are unable to travel to the office, and, in order to be of meaningful service to their client, may have to go above and beyond the work that a lawyer might otherwise be expected to do. On the practical side, it means that we are located within the neighborhoods we serve, and strive to reduce the barriers to entry that might otherwise prevent low-income District residents from obtaining legal help - even from another legal services organization. I think the description of NLSP as 'community lawyers' has both practical and metaphysical dimensions.

Finally - and maybe most importantly - new attorneys at NLSP work side-by-side with more experienced practitioners who are available to guide and mentor them through these professional milestones. During my brief time at NLSP, I was able to do motions practice, evidentiary hearings, participate on an appeal preparation team, and conduct a deposition - in addition to some document review (but not too much!).Д¬rucially, NLSP is serious about professional development, meaning that new attorneys have ample opportunities to get the training and preparation they need to responsibly undertake all that exciting and varied work. NLSP - like legal services work in general - offers new attorneys almost immediate opportunities to begin doing substantive work that will challenge and expand their professional parameters.
