Key Skills in Client Counseling: But I Don’t Represent Victims of Domestic Violence, Do I?

How can understanding domestic violence help you be a more effective attorney, no matter what area of law you practice? To wrap up Domestic Violence Awareness Month, join Ellen C Schell, General Counsel at the NYS Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, for our free program on Friday, October 30, from 1:00-3:00 p.m.

Get answers to these questions, and have a chance to ask some of your own:

• What is domestic violence, and why is it relevant to my practice? 

• How can I identify clients who may be victims of domestic violence? 

• How could domestic violence affect my representation of those clients? 

• How can I support those clients who are dealing with domestic violence in their lives? 

• How can I work with them effectively and help them get assistance when they need it?

• What resources are out there for them, and for me?

Join us on October 30!
