National Center on Law & Elder Rights: Module 1: Abuse in Later Life Overview

The U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is sponsoring a free five-part webinar series on Abuse in Later Life. The National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL) and The American Bar Association Commission on Domestic and Sexual Violence will present the webinar series, focusing on addressing the needs of older victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

The series includes five modules:

• Module 1: Abuse in Later Life Overview
• Module 2: Forming the Relationship with your Client
• Module 3: Client Goal-setting and Non-litigation Responses
• Module 4: Legal Resolutions and Remedies
• Module 5: Bringing the Case-Trial Skills

The webinar series is tailored to the needs of civil attorneys and legal advocates. Registration, however, is open to all participants who wish to further develop their professional understanding of abuse later in life.
