Dear Colleagues:
Please find a note from our friends at Public Counsel regarding Volunteer Opportunities through the Reaffirmation Clinic. I believe that you will find the training and the volunteering opportunity invaluable.

Dear Volunteers:
I am writing to invite you to participate in one of Public Counsels Los Angeles Reaffirmation Clinics in the month of December. At our clinic, you will have the opportunity to provide brief counseling to pro se debtors prior to their reaffirmation hearings.
As many of you know, the Los Angeles Division of the Bankruptcy Court has experienced a significant increase in the filing of chapter 7 cases, many of which involve reaffirmation hearings. To facilitate the timely hearing of reaffirmation motions, the Court has scheduled 2-3 pro se reaffirmation calendars for each remaining month of 2010. Public Counsel is coordinating with the Court to provide volunteer attorneys at each of these additional pro se reaffirmation calendars. We would greatly appreciate it if you could join us to volunteer at one or more of the upcoming December reaffirmation dates:

Please reply to this email to indicate which reaffirmation dates you are able to attend.
Many of you have participated in our reaffirmation clinics in the past, and others may be new to the reaffirmation clinic. If you have not participated before, please be assured that we will be happy to provide training. The time commitment for this volunteer opportunity is approximately 2-3 hours.
At this time of surging bankruptcy filings, the Court is particularly appreciative of the time and expertise contributed by our volunteers. To all of our past and future reaffirmation volunteers, please accept our sincere thanks, and we hope to see you soon.
With warmest regards,
Marisa H. Hawkins
