By the end of the course, participants will demonstrate and be equipped with an understanding of the integration between human behaviour, interpersonal relationships, and our wellness, to enhance their overall problem-solving and decision-making skills in the legal profession.
The course aims at teaching participants to keep the human in the loop, so that our connection remains tangible in a time of rapid technological advancement and AI, also assisting us to continue being endlessly creative, curious, and imaginative.
Participants will develop evidence-based micro-skills in emotional regulation, trauma informed interviewing, cross cultural communication, principled negotiation and ethical decision making. These competencies are increasingly emphasised in legal education standards on professional identity formation, and complement the practical vocational training focus areas of ethics, alternative dispute resolution, and practice management.
This course will be held remotely, most likely on Zoom - exact details will be sent to registered participants a few days before the course.
