Attorneys’ education and experience help them guide clients through a system of laws, but their practices and the profession also benefit when attorneys demonstrate resilience in the face of challenging circumstances. Trauma-informed lawyering provides a framework for recognizing and addressing trauma responses to help attorneys meet the needs of their clients and uphold the ethical responsibilities of the profession. Karen Munoz and Lindsay Nathan explain the types of trauma and its neurological impact before providing practical tools attorneys can use in their practices.
