SUMMARY:Free Session - Trauma-informed Lawyering by the Journey Project
DESCRIPTION:Free ‘Trauma-Informed Lawyering’ *CLE Opportunity \nThe Journey Project Legal Support Service (JPLSS) is a collaboration between the Journey Project team and trained lawyers who are interested in supporting survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence in Newfoundland and Labrador.  The Journey Project is actively seeking lawyers to join our Legal Support Service lawyer roster. Lawyers on our roster complete PAID consultations with survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence\, in areas of law in which they practice or are comfortable providing legal advice. \nCurrently\, our roster is staffed with 25+ lawyers from geographic regions throughout the province\, many of whom have been with The Journey Project since our inception in 2018. Our request is coming not from lawyer withdrawal\, rather an increased uptake from participants in TJP’s services\, which includes increased demand for access to legal advice through us. \nAs of this writing\, The Journey Project has worked with 950+ survivors here in NL\, more than 70% of which are interested in lawyer consultation as part of their involvement with us. Recently\, we’ve had an influx of survivors wishing to consult with lawyers on our roster and we are acutely aware of the need to increase our capacity to provide this vitally important service. \nLawyers who wish to participate in this program must participate in a free half-day training session on trauma-informed lawyering. This training is being offered at the Law Society of NL on Friday\, June 14 from 9:30am – 1:00pm and offers a unique opportunity to build the skills and knowledge of legal professionals and make practicing lawyers eligible to join the Journey Project Legal Support Service. \nTraining will cover: \n\nidentifying and understanding trauma and its impacts\nthe neurobiology of trauma\nrationale and principles of trauma-informed lawyering\ntrauma-informed responses to disclosures\nburnout\, empathic strain\, and vicarious trauma\n\nThis seminar is free and\, *subject to the provisions of the Law Society’s Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Requirements\, may constitute 3.5 hours of eligible CLE activities. \nTo register for this training visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JourneyTIL \nIf you are interested in learning more about this training or becoming a part of this paid and rewarding program please reach out to Janet Lee\, Coordinator at janet@journeyprojectnl.com  or 709-986-2801

As counsel\, you need to be ready for the call when a workplace death happens! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:9th National Conference on Community and Restorative Justice with Local Presenters Alyssa Brennan and Sarah McDonald Moores
DESCRIPTION:Conference Details:\nRe-Envisioning Our Legacies: A Defining Moment\nWashington\, D.C. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 9th National Conference takes us to the nation’s capital\, a city that wields considerable influence on national and international affairs\, and a place with deeply rooted community activism and movement making. More broadly\, the entire DMV region (Washington\, D.C.\, Maryland\, and Virginia) serves as an example of the transformative power of deliberate\, local initiatives. This tapestry of history\, cultural diversity\, and innovation makes the DMV an ideal place to explore the past\, present\, and future of community and restorative justice. \nIn 2024\, we stand at a critical juncture facing pivotal decisions on a national scale. These decisions encompass defining the values our country wishes to champion during a federal election year\, clarifying our individual and collective roles in addressing global issues like oppression\, conflict\, and war\, and determining how we want community and restorative justice to show up in our own communities. \nOur conference theme\, “Re-Envisioning Our Legacies: A Defining Moment\,” draws inspiration from the global Indigenous wisdom of “Seven Generations.” This principle urges us to consider the far-reaching impact of our actions seven generations into the future while honoring the efforts of ancestors seven generations before us. The theme invites each of us to reflect on our personal and collective legacies: which legacies from our ancestors influence our work\, which harmful legacies are we dedicated to overturning\, and which legacies do we aspire to pass on to the next seven generations? This exploration teaches us valuable lessons\, fosters connections between past and future\, and empowers us to share the legacies that will be carried forward by future generations. \nJoin us in this defining moment as we envision\, explore\, and take action to ensure community and restorative justice principles not only survive but thrive within our own lives\, families\, and communities\, and as we reimagine the systems and structures that underpin our society. By joining together\, we will create impactful connections\, enable the exchange of ideas and knowledge\, and provide experiences that inspire tangible change. Together\, we have the capacity to establish a legacy that is inherently restorative\, leaving a profound and enduring mark on our world.
