2026 Poverty Law Conference
Friday September 4, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm CDT
This session offers a deep dive into the real-world collaboration between social workers, advocates, attorneys, and families. We will share direct experiences from the field, illustrating how social work intervention acts as a vital "gateway" to services that run alongside and beyond the legal process.

Our discussion focuses on the tactical side of partnership: how we can effectively back each other up both in the courtroom and during day-to-day advocacy. We will tackle the essential challenge of setting boundaries, ensuring every professional has a clear lane and a defined role as the case unfolds.
