Evidence: Getting Beyond He Said/She Said
April 2015
Evidence: Getting Beyond He Said/She Said
Program Description
Evidence in family law and protection order cases is often reduced to "He said/She said." This seminar explores evidence, such as digital evidence, child hearsay, and evidence of power and control. But evidence is not helpful, if your client is unable to assist in the case because of trauma. A practicing lawyer explains how to deal with the client who is traumatized and how to keep that client engaged in their case.
