Law Review Symposium

Trauma-Informed Lawyering: Approaches to Advocating for Diverse Populations

Save the Date! The Roger Williams University Law Review will present their annual symposium on Friday, November 15, 2024.

The symposium will focus on the importance of practicing trauma-informed lawyering to build effective attorney-client relationships and provide holistic representation that accounts for the realities of traumatic experiences. Speakers will discuss trauma-informed practice, what is meant by the terms "trauma" and "vicarious trauma," representing clients who have survived domestic violence, sexual assault, and significant mental and physical harm, adapting litigation strategy to account for trauma, and preventing vicarious trauma. 

Program and registration details forthcoming.
