Reach Out to Seniors

Build a bridge between the legal profession and senior citizens.

• Team with local AARP office or with a senior advocacy group, watchdog group against elder abuse, or county department on aging. Schedule an event at a community center where attorney members can offer tips for seniors on how the law can help them and how it keeps them safe.
  
  
• Check out the Center for Justice & Democracy's profile of cases (PDF) that have helped seniors.
  
  
• Similar events may include teaming with an environmental group, public safety group, or labor unions. Tips from lawyers can include information on how the law helps protect the environment, or makes products safer, or makes the workplace safer.
