Equal Justice University 2024

In this workshop-style session, practitioners of all experience levels will be provided hypothetical situations of elder abuse and an opportunity to develop strategies to address the situation with civil legal aid. Often, elder abuse cases are messy and tangled and in many cases require more than one legal problem to be addressed. This workshop will use facilitated dialogue techniques to encourage ideas to be discussed in smaller groups before shared with the larger group. Issues of client capacity, navigating difficult family members, working with community partners, and ethical obligations will be addressed.
