Implicit - and even explicit - bias can impede the ability
of family law practitioners to understand the full and complex nature of
domestic abuse and how it is experienced in the lives of individual
victim-survivors. Furthermore, abuse is experienced differently in different
social and cultural contexts, which may not be fully understood by
practitioners. This session will prepare family lawyers to effectively
account for such information gaps and biases as they represent these survivors,
prepare clients for mediation or litigation, and present a clear and persuasive
picture of the abuse to other practitioners and the
court.
This CLE is approved for credit through March
18, 2024.
