Domestic Violence During a Pandemic

$30 for MBA members | $50 non-members 

Time magazine has described domestic violence as a “Pandemic Within the COVID-19 Pandemic.” Unfortunately, stay-at-home orders, social distancing, and limited court operations have all created additional obstacles for domestic violence victims. Legal Aid Services of Oregon attorneys Brett Cattani and Emily Brown-Sitnick will share their experiences and best practices for:

• Considerations when representing clients in contested restraining order hearings during the pandemic;
• Working with and counseling low-income clients facing abuse and systemic barriers to accessing services; and
• Using technology to prepare for hearings and advocate for clients.
