A growing national movement focused on implementing a constitutional right to civil counsel in what has been termed ?Civil Gideon? has emerged. This Symposium will explore the many issues surrounding the right to counsel in the civil context and the areas in which improvements can be made to meet the civil legal needs of the poor. Since 1984, the University of Pennsylvania Law School has honored the late Edward V. Sparer, a pioneer in poverty law, through planning the annual Sparer Symposium. This year we are proud to co-sponsor this event with the Greater Philadelphia Law School Consortium and the Philadelphia Bar Association.

This program has been approved for 3 hours of substantive law credit for Pennsylvania lawyers.
