The TBA Young Lawyers Division continues its Rookie Series with a CLE on compassionate lawyering. This program 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.The webcast will be held at noon CDT on Aug. 27.
