TRAUMA-INFORMED LEGAL PRACTICE: BETTER OUTCOMES FOR CLIENTS

THURSDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2022 - 5:00PM - 7:30PM

Venue - Online & The Moot Court, School of Law (MST.02.006), Queen's University Belfast.

Lawyers deal with people living through extraordinary circumstances, and often see the worst of human behaviour. While we have dealt with traumatised clients using common sense for generations, science now allows us to understand more precisely the serious impacts that current or unresolved childhood traumas can have on our clients' health and ability to function. Firms and counsel can use these insights in very practical ways to shape their service-delivery model and client interactions, so as to help clients better. They can resist re-traumatisation of clients and remove unintended obstacles to them being able to receive their services effectively.

If you would like to find out more information or would like to register to this practical briefings on the basics of the trauma informed approach and what it means in family, criminal, legacy and general practice, kindly visit the event page.

THE PLANETARY EMERGENCY AND THE POLITICS OF RESISTANCE
TUESDAY 19 JULY 2022
9.00AM - 1.30PM

Lanyon Building, Queen's University Belfast.

The disruptive tactics used by movements like Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain and Just Stop Oil deeply divide opinion on what qualifies as 'responsible', 'appropriate' and 'aaceptable' forms of protest. Meanwhile, states are increasingly engaging in more repressive tactics to protect 'business as usual', by dissuading activists from engaging in disruptive actions and criminalising those who do. It is in this context that the Centre for Sustainability, Equality and Climate Action (SECA) invites you to join academics, trade unionists and activists in discussion to consider the theme: 'The planetary Emergency and the Politics of Resistance'.

Please join Dr David Bailey (University of Birmingham), Niamh Small (Queen's University Belfast), Dr Oscar Berglund (University of Bristol) and V'cenza Cirefice (National University of Ireland Galway), in this practical half-day workshop.
