Neurodiversity Demystified: Key Concepts for Law Firm Professionals

Join the DC Chapter and Amicus Coaching for a webinar (CLE credit pending) on neurodiversity in the workplace with Julie Caron Remer. This presentation will provide attendees with an overview of neurodivergence in the law firm setting. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the experiences, challenges, and unique strengths neurodivergent individuals bring to the legal profession. We will also discuss when and why neurodivergence can become more challenging in the law firm setting and typical ways the firm or supervising attorneys can help set neurodivergent attorneys up for success, as well as tools neurodivergent attorneys can use to help themselves. This session will focus on practical strategies and real-world examples that emphasize empathy, collaboration, inclusion, and the true value of embracing neurodiversity within law firms.
