SUMMARY:Trauma‑Informed Lawyering as Bias Reduction\, Applying Empathy to Reduce Bias in Legal Practice (CLE #548735)(Approved for one Elimination of Bias Credit)
DESCRIPTION:A history of trauma can have long term consequences that affect the way individuals communicate\, remember events\, carry themselves\, interact with their attorneys and appear as witnesses. This CLE explores how our role as attorneys requires that we learn to decipher ambiguous behavior and ask compassionate and understanding questions of these clients. We will explore trauma informed interviewing procedures to adopt practices that make space for our clients to tell their stories and feel heard. We will also discuss bias that can show up during the intake process\, case development\, and trial strategy. Finally\, we’ll help participants understand how their ethical obligations require them to understand and employ trauma-informed practices as part of their professional competency and in doing so\, avoid further harm to their clients.

SUMMARY:Ethical Dangers of Isolation (CLE #549376)(Approved for one ethics credit)
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness and isolation present an urgent public health challenge\, prompting the U.S. Surgeon General to issue a public health advisory to urge the nation’s immediate awareness and action.  As lawyers\, we have been identified as the loneliest workers in America\, and our isolation presents a significant risk to our mental and physical health and our ability to conform to our professional obligations.  This program explores some of the causes and effects of isolation\, the impact on our professional responsibilities\, and ways we can address both causes and effects of isolation by building a culture of connection and mutual care in the legal profession.  (One Minnesota Ethics Credit sought) Free registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/U0aEzN14R0S90fAIRNUOnw

SUMMARY:Lawyers\, Learn to Partner with Your Nervous System for Reduced Stress\, Greater Resilience\, and Enhanced Performance (Pending one mental health credit)
DESCRIPTION:Want to build resilience and handle stress more effectively in your legal practice? LCL’s one-hour webinar will explore nervous system principles and their practical applications in the legal profession. Lawyers rely heavily on their intellect; yet one’s neurophysiological state\, often outside conscious awareness\, is a critical component to lawyer wellbeing and performance. During this webinar\, participants will learn to recognize their personal nervous system states (fight\, flight\, flee or fawn) and learn tips for cultivating a nervous system that is regulated\, flexible\, and able to respond appropriately to our environment. We will also review how a lawyer’s nervous system state can impact clients\, co-workers\, and others in our lives. Nervous system awareness and flexibility is critical in a high-stress profession like law. After this presentation\, you’ll have new skills to reduce responses to stress\, increase productivity and resilience\, and contribute to a better legal environment for all. Free registration here.

SUMMARY:Moral Injury in the Legal Profession: Naming Harm\, Interrupting Shame\, and Cultivating Healing (by Professor Natalie Netzel)
DESCRIPTION:This one-hour program examines moral injury as a significant and increasingly recognized contributor to mental health challenges in the legal profession. Moral injury arises when lawyers are repeatedly exposed to\, participate in\, or are constrained by professional roles and legal systems that produce outcomes in conflict with their deeply held moral\, ethical\, or professional values. While lawyers are accustomed to discussing stress and burnout\, moral injury captures a distinct form of psychological harm that implicates meaning\, identity\, and integrity. Taught by distinguished faculty person\, Professor Natalie Netzel. Registration \n
