This course is designed to educate attorneys about the traumatic effect of the disparate treatment experienced by members of our BIPOC community which can affect the attorney’s best practices during representation. Dr. Daricarrere is a licensed clinical psychologist who performs immigration evaluations for individuals seeking asylum in the United States. In that capacity and in his private clinical practice as a licensed therapist, he is qualified to understand the unique trauma experienced by individuals because of race and other historical experiences. He will share that considerable knowledge with the attendees in the hope that they will improve their understanding of the impact of racial trauma on BIPOC clients, legal professionals, as well as others. As a 27-year practicing attorney, Ms. MacGillis will shed light on her observations of bias and prejudice in the legal profession, and within the criminal justice system as well as the statutes and rules that are designed to prevent it. Special attention will be paid to the effects of racial trauma and how it may present in the legal setting in the practicing attorney and/or his or her clients. This program also hopes to acknowledge and support colleagues who have faced racial trauma and experienced its aftermath.  (1 1/2 Elimination of Bias Credits Sought) Free registration here
