THE PEOPLE'S LAW SCHOOL
No more secrecy. No more confusion.
Practical training, now.
HUMAN LIVES AT STAKE
To become a plumber, a person must complete a 5-year apprenticeship, working under the tutelage of an experienced professional.
​
To cut hair, a barber must compete a multi-year apprenticeship, generally including 2,000+ hours of on-the-job training.
​
To be a lawyer? We go to school for 3 years and pass a bar exam.
​
Not to minimize those accomplishments. But it is little wonder that injustices are so prevalent in our society when our governments require more practical training to clear a clogged drain or cut a fade than to represent a desperate human facing a life-altering legal problem.
​
The People's Law School was created to bridge this gap.
​
TRAINING ON YOUR TIMELINE
To ​learn how to competently represent an injured person, lawyers have historically had two options: (1) Work for an established law firm for years in hopes of obtaining said training; or (2) Commit malpractice while trying to figure it out on their own.
​
Faced with this choice, most lawyers opt for the first option: Working at a firm and getting paid less than they're worth to "pay their dues" for the basic training they never received in law school.
​
The People's Law School provides an alternative.
​
While nothing can fully replace real mentoring, our courses are designed to accelerate the learning curve to becoming a competent plaintiff's lawyer by 3-5 years. Because they are on-demand, you complete them on your timeline, not someone else's. And there is no "office politics" involved: The training is available to you, forever, without the need to kiss any rings.
​
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION
The People's Law School originated as the associate-training program for The People's Law Firm--a multi-jurisdictional personal injury and ciivl rights law firm comprised of reformed Big Law attorneys. After years of training associates across multiple law firms, PLF Founder Steve Benedetto created a series of video courses that could be viewed and reviewed by the Firm's new hires. ​
​
Years later, after receiving a series of requests from young lawyers wishing to work at The PLF, Steve decided to make these courses publicly available--with the goal of educating 5,000 "lawyers for the people" by 2040. ​
​
Each course consists of a series of short, easy-to-digest lessons. Most lessons are accompanied by forms, to aid in the learning process and ensure you're not trying to reinvent the wheel. And the entire course includes a detailed outline, so you can easily access the information again without re-watching the videos.
​
While focused primarily on personal injury representation, all but our "Pre-Litigation 101" course has broad applicability to represesentation of plaintiffs in almost any civil litigation matter.
Training that meets you where you are.
