Reminder:
Sixth Training: Legal Work with Marginalized Populations
Friday, March 5th@ 12pm-2pm EST
This training will be instructed by Margarita Guzman, Esq. For legal professionals, engaging marginalized populations is often a motivating purpose for attending law school. However, trauma-informed interviewing and skills for engaging these populations is not a common offering in legal education. In this session, attendees will reflect on client obstacles to successful engagement, participate in honest discussion about unintentional behaviors that may distance clients, discuss racism and its impact on the systems in which we and our clients have to engage, and identify strategies that can help improve interpersonal connections with clients, while maintaining healthful boundaries.
All trainings will be held Fridays, January 22 – March 19, 2021 12pm-2pm EST
Note: You may register for the whole series, or just for individual trainings within the series. These trainings will also be eligible for Continuing Legal Education Credits.
