This CLE will teach practitioners how primary and secondary traumas impact the brain. We will discuss how trauma can impact the attorney-client relationship and representation. We will then walk through practical examples of how trauma can arise during life of a case and how the attorney can recognize and address trauma reactions in both clients and themselves in order to fulfill their duties under 4-1.1, 4-1.4, and 4-1.16.
Speakers: Katherine Wessling, Crime Victim Center-Legal Rep. Program, St. Louis; Peggy Tyson, LPC, Director of Clinical Services at Crime Victim Center, St. Louis
