    Lawyers and other legal professionals often see people on their worst days, and work with clients through the difficult, disruptive, and chaotic periods of life that often give rise to intense emotions. As a result, it is important to be equipped to talk to clients who may be experiencing big emotions or struggling with other mental health issues.

    Lawyers and other legal professionals often see people on their worst days, and work with clients through the difficult, disruptive, and chaotic periods of life that often give rise to intense emotions. As a result, it is important to be equipped to talk to clients who may be experiencing big emotions or struggling with other mental health issues. This presentation will cover practical strategies for de-escalating clients experiencing intense emotions. Participants will learn ways to show empathy and understanding while also moving the conversation forward in a way that is sensitive to clients' needs, which strengthens the attorney-client relationship by fostering trust, rapport, and confidence.

    This panel will share the experience from several diverse judges on their path to the bench and advice for other minority attorneys to achieve the same. (HYBRID SEMINAR)

    The Path to Becoming a Judge as a Minority, A Panel Discussion 

    This is a hybrid event with an in-person and a webinar option. Please select the appropriate button when registering if you plan to attend in-person. Event will take place at Chicago Bar Association, 321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL.

    Public trust and legitimacy in the judiciary depends on society's belief in fair and impartial justice. That can only be achieved if the court reflects the same diversity as the communities it serves. This is why representation matters. However, the current makeup of the bench is overwhelmingly homogenous. How can this change? What obstacles exist? This panel will share the experience from several diverse judges on their path to the bench and advice for other minority attorneys to achieve the same. 

    This program is co-sponsored with Puerto Rican Bar Association. 

    Speakers: 
    Justice Joy Cunningham, Supreme Court Justice, First District 
    Judge Aileen Bhandari, Circuit Court of Cook County, Municipal Department
