The 2025 Family Law Symposium will center on gaining a deeper understanding of vicarious trauma in family law cases. This interdisciplinary event will feature a training session, as well as panel discussion on:

  • What vicarious trauma is and how to identify it as a family law attorney 

  • How to successfully work in trauma-filled environments 

  • How to take care of yourself as a family law attorney 

We hope you’ll join us for this timely and important discussion.
