Attorneys adopt habits and patterns for many good reasons.
Efficiency and quality control are just two. Still, we as attorneys may develop
practices for counselling our clients or drafting health care directives that
need rethinking to meet the needs of individuals with different cultural
backgrounds and lived experiences than our own.
Staff members from VOA Culturally
Responsive Caregiver Support and Dementia Services and Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid
will share from their experiences serving individuals of African American, East
African, and Hmong heritage. These perspectives may help attorneys neutralize
stigmas standing between well-intentioned providers of legal services and the
clients they seek to serve.
This CLE is approved for credit through February 15,
2026.
