Program Description:
Pending Elimination of Bias CLE credit application!
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.
Presenters:
Beth
Assell, Staff Attorney | Standpoint
Debra Bulluck, Legal Assistance
for Victims (LAV) Project Attorney | Standpoint
