Lost Lessons from Groundhog Day

GJP Executive Director Doug Ammar's CLE Seminar, "Lost Lessons from Groundhog Day", offers attending attorneys one hour of professionalism credit.  Attorneys can attend one of the regularly scheduled CLE Presentations at GJP Offices on Edgewood Ave.  Law Firms or Legal Departments can schedule the CLE in-house.

Mr. Ammar uses the film Groundhog Day as a launching point to discuss the potential for personal and relational transformation through public engagement and service to the poor.  Given their unique position of service and power, lawyers can capitalize on the potential for transformation for both the client AND the attorney. 

Based on this model of transformation, Georgia Justice Project, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization, transforms the experience of poor people involved in the criminal justice system by breaking down the barriers caused by the pervasive cycle of poverty and crime.  GJP zealously represents clients who are accused of a crime, minimizes the civil consequences of having been in the criminal justice system and provides a full range of social, educational and vocational services, all without charge. GJP helps clients find jobs, either with social ventures they operate or with other organizations where they can be successful.  Advocating for the legislative and other policy changes necessary to focus the criminal justice system on the dignity of every human being, GJP succeeds where others have failed.
