Infos

Trauma-Informed Law discusses the many intersections of trauma and law where it is often denied, ignored, covered up, or avoided. The book is intended for lawyers, law students, legal educators, and judges, as well as decision-makers, administrators, staff, and anyone impacted by the court.It is a collection of cases and situations with practice implications for other cases impacted by trauma, whether those cases and situations involve race, class, gender, different physical or mental abilities (or disability), sexual orientation or other diverse factors including the impact of developmental health issues, addiction, substance abuse, poverty, access to opportunities, community safety or belonging and more. Each scenario holds useful implications for both practice issues within the same area of law and even in other areas of law or the legal system.Table of Contents:Introduction to Trauma-Informed LawyeringWhy it Matters: The Context for Trauma-Informed LawyeringLawyers Perspectives on Trauma: What is Trauma in the Law & LawyeringLegal Practice and TraumaTools for Lawyers and Practice Areas: Underlying Principles of Trauma-Informed ToolsTrauma & Healing in Legal Systems: Courts and JudgesLegal Education and TraumaSystems Change and Trauma: The Legal System and Systematic or Collective TraumaConclusion
