The Supreme Court of Nevada and Southern Nevada Senior Law Program (SLP) request that you pledge to become a Senior Advocate so that more vulnerable seniors are able to be served in our community. Senior Law Program proudly received a Nevada Supreme Court Certificate of Recognition in 2022. In the certificate the Justices specifically “encouraged probate and estate attorneys to support Senior Law Program by volunteering pro bono or supporting with a donation in lieu of pro bono.
Please commit to be a Senior Advocate within the calendar year by choosing one of the below options:
- Participate in a 1 CLE qualified training on guiding seniors through the preparation of their Durable Power of Attorney/Advance Directive. Training sessions are offered monthly via Zoom at various times by Senior Law Program.
- Become a presenter at one or more DPOAH/Advance Directive clinics for 8– 12 seniors held at the Senior Law Program Office located at 7690 W. Sahara (Sahara near Buffalo). There are 5–7clinics scheduled at various times each month for two hours each. Seniors leave with a completed document and peace of mind. During a calendar year, presenting at three two-hour clinics (6 hours) will earn 2 CLEs.
- Participate in a 1 CLE qualified training on simple wills and homesteads. Training sessions are offered monthly via Zoom at various times by Senior Law Program.
- Accept 6 or more referrals for preparation of a simple will and/or homestead document during a calendar year, which will earn 2 CLEs or more based on 1 CLE for every 3 hours of pro bono.
- Make a financial contribution in lieu of pro bono (see the linked handout below).
Attorney volunteers are able to take advantage of ongoing additional CLE opportunities at no cost through Southern Nevada SLP– earning 1 CLE hour for every 3 hours of uncompensated pro bono service for a total of 4CLEs each calendar year.
Senior Law Program helps more than 3,000 at-risk older adults in Southern Nevada every year and there is a six-month waiting list for services with one of our staff attorneys due to high demand and limited staffing because of funding constraints. The Senior Advocates program will enable more seniors to be served and served sooner. Please join us in addressing this critical need.
