How Substance Use and Trauma May Impact Client Decision Making and Legal Representation

This webinar will explore how current and/or past substance use and trauma can impact a client’s decision-making ability, with a focus on challenges that may arise during representation of survivors of human trafficking and individuals placed at increased risk of future exploitation. Panelists will discuss their experiences in the field and practice suggestions based on Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct and ABA Model Rule 1.14.

This webinar is presented in partnership by Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service and the Human Trafficking Prevention Project. For additional information or any questions, please contact MVLS HTPP Partnership Manager Heather Heiman at hheiman@mvlslaw.org
