The term "neurodiversity" is becoming more common today, but what does it mean in the context of legal and legal services practice? Understanding the place of neurodiversity within our communities fosters greater inclusivity, more effective communication, and helps you establish a firm that can serve the needs of your neurodivergent clients. It also may help you work with opposing counsel and colleagues who identify as neurodiverse. Hear from our experienced panel of speakers on these topics, as well as learning more about the lived experiences of practicing law as a neurodivergent/neurodiverse lawyer.
- Understand more about the realities of neurodiverse individuals
