Compassion In Action: Practical Skills for Trauma-Informed Lawyering

Sponsored by the TBA YLD
Description:

Join the TBA Young Lawyers Division for the third installment in its trauma-informed lawyering webinar series: Compassion in Action: Practical Skills for Trauma-Informed Lawyering. Join returning presenter Chris Troutt, LMFT, alongside Constance Brown, Esq., and Justice Sharon Lee (Ret.) for an engaging one-hour webcast exploring how compassion can be translated into practical skills for everyday legal practice.

Together, the panel will discuss trauma-informed approaches to client communication, including delivering difficult news, navigating disappointing case outcomes, understanding what may be happening in a client's or litigant's brain during moments of stress, and balancing empathy with effective advocacy. Justice Lee will share insights from her years on the bench, offering perspective on balancing compassion with the rule of law.

Whether you attended the previous webinars, What Attorneys Must Know About Secondary and Vicarious Trauma and Compassionate Lawyering, or are joining the series for the first time, you'll leave with practical tools to strengthen client relationships, improve communication, and put compassion into action in your legal practice.
