Program:
Implicit - and even
explicit - bias can impede the ability of family law practitioners to understand
the full and complex nature of domestic abuse and how it is experienced in the
lives of individual victim-survivors. Furthermore, abuse is experienced
differently in different social and cultural contexts, which may not be fully
understood by practitioners.
This session will prepare family lawyers to effectively account for such information gaps
and biases as they represent these survivors, prepare clients for mediation or litigation,
and present a clear and persuasive picture of the abuse to other
practitioners and the court.
Please join us for an engaging presentation on this challenging
topic!
