A Look at the Philadelphia Bar Association's Public Programs
Brad Rostolsky
Introduction
Since 2006, Ambler, Pennsylvania-based attorney Brad Rostolsky has served as a partner
in charge of the HIPAA and Health Privacy and Security Practice at Reed Smith, LLP. In his
work, he advises a range of clients, including hospitals, pharmacies, medical practices,
and long-term care facilities. To complement his day-to-day professional activities, Brad
Rostolsky maintains membership in the Philadelphia Bar Association.
In addition to providing a number of professional development programs for practicing
attorneys, the Philadelphia Bar Association oversees various programs and activities for
the public. These include its Lawyer Referral Information Service (LRIS), LegalLine P.M.,
and People's Law School.
LRIS has been helping clients find qualified attorneys for over seven decades. The referral
service is offered free of charge and made available to clients seeking assistance with a
wide range of legal matters. Attorneys are available in over 160 areas of law, and an
initial consultation of up to 30 minutes with an LRIS lawyer is provided for the low fee of
$35.
Pennsylvania residents seeking legal advice can also turn to the Philadelphia Bar Association's
LegalLine P.M. Sponsored by the group's Young Lawyers Division, the advice call-in program
provides free legal guidance every third Wednesday of the month from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST.
The program is supported by Philadelphia attorneys, and advice is offered in both English and
Spanish.
Also sponsored by the Young Lawyer's Division, the People's Law School is a six-week course
providing adult legal education for a nominal fee. Participants have the opportunity to hear from
practicing attorneys, law school professors, and other legal professionals discussing topics in
practice areas such as bankruptcy law, workers' compensation law, and consumer fraud law.
More information about the Philadelphia Bar Association's various public programs is available at
www.philadelphiabar.org.
