Bench Bar 2021: Neurodiversity in the Courtroom

Convention 2021
Description:

The legal system has a well-earned and longstanding reputation as a slow adopter of change. As Neurodiverse people (i.e. Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, PTSD) continue to participate in the courtroom setting, it is incumbent upon the judges and advocates themselves to recognize that great minds don’t always think alike. In order to accommodate different ways that we process information, courts and the lawyers that practice before them must appreciate and understand these differences and prepare cases that play to all strengths.

This was an interesting topic and conversation. I'd love for there to be one about hiring lawyers with neurodivergent brains and how to best use their strengths.

The topic was interesting and timely as we are continuing to understand neurodiversity in many aspect of work and the community,

Excellent and very helpful content!

This was helpful in understanding certain courtroom dynamics.

Really fascinating. I especially appreciated the comments about making jury instructions, etc more straightforward. Fascinating panel.

Very interesting!

new topic that I had never heard discussed before.
