Summer Lunch & Learn: Navigating the Invisible Barrier to Justice Part 2
This event is co-sponsored by Amara Legal Center and NVRDC.
Join us for a two-part series on navigating the invisible barriers to justice that clients experience when seeking to exercise their legal rights. These introductory discussions will give insight into the client experience when they try to navigate the legal system after experiencing a lifetime of trauma or one extremely traumatic event. Being mindful of centering your client takes practice and can be tricky to navigate. Join us for this candid discussion to see examples and ask questions about assisting clients with trauma and experiencing trafficking in a safe environment with experts from the legal field.
Part Two will focus on identifying human trafficking and sex trafficking as underlying issues in any practice area. The goal of this training is to familiarize all legal and paraprofessionals with the signs of trafficking and how to respond when navigating the client relationship and supporting their client holistically. This panel will take place Wednesday, August 16 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm.
Both sessions are appropriate for new and experienced attorneys, pro bono professionals, law students, and other legal professionals such as paralegals and legal assistants that participate in the intake and fact-collection process of a case.
