The Philadelphia Bar Foundation is excited to announce that applications for the 2026 R. Nicholas Gimbel Fund 2-Day Deposition Training have opened! The training will be held from Monday, December 7th through Tuesday December 8th at the Philadelphia offices of Troutman Pepper Locke, 3000 Two Logan Square, Eighteenth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia 19103.

Thanks to a collaborative effort among the Philadelphia Bar Foundation’s R.

Space is limited. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply promptly to secure their spot in this outstanding training opportunity. Preference will be given to staff of public interest organizations funded by the Philadelphia Bar Foundation. A waiting list will also be maintained to ensure we accommodate as many public interest attorneys as possible.
