Working in the legal profession comes with immense responsibility—not only to uphold the law, but also to serve clients with empathy, integrity, and awareness. Clients often turn to lawyers during some of the most difficult moments in their lives, seeking guidance through complex and challenging circumstances. This CLE introduces lawyers to the principles of compassionate lawyering and trauma-informed legal practice. Participants will explore how legal processes and environments can unintentionally retraumatize clients, particularly those from marginalized or vulnerable populations. Whether working in public interest, criminal defense, family law, or corporate settings, lawyers can enhance their practice by recognizing the impact of trauma and approaching clients with compassion. Join the TBA YLD as we talk and explore this topic with mental health professionals.
