Trauma shows up in all kinds of cases—not just those involving crimes—and can deeply affect clients, witnesses, and even attorneys. This seminar brings together a diverse panel of civil attorneys, victims’ rights advocates, a prosecutor, and a psychologist to shed light on how trauma manifests in legal settings. Practitioners will walk away with practical, trauma-informed strategies to improve communication, reduce harm, and navigate the legal process with greater empathy and effectiveness.
