Free Online Workshop on Social Security Disability Law

You are invited to join Acting Chief Administrative Law Judge David Hatfield and Ormson Law Training for a free online workshop on Social Security Disability law on September 25 at 10 am.

The workshop will utilize a simulated case to explain a five-step sequential evaluation process used in determining whether an individual is disabled under the Social Security Act.

This workshop is being offered with recent law school grads in mind. Check out the program if you'd like to learn more about whether Social Security Disability law is a potential career path for you.

Although the workshop is free, space is limited. Please register online.

Questions about the workshop can be directed to Craig Ormson, Director, Ormson Law Training: (267) 240-8277.

Volunteering is another great way to explore practice areas of interest. Disability Rights Washington has pro bono work for both students and attorneys. Prospective volunteers are welcome to complete a volunteer application online.
