Centre for Women’s Justice: Lawyers’ training on representing victims of domestic abuse accused of offending

Please join us for a free, in-person training event delivered by leading expert practitioners on Saturday, 13th May 2023, 9.30-4.30, in central London (location to be confirmed).

Centre for Women’s Justice (CWJ) is a lawyer-led charity focused on challenging failings and discrimination against women in the criminal justice system. We have developed a new training programme for criminal defence and prison lawyers – both barristers and solicitors – on representing victims of domestic abuse who find themselves accused or convicted of offending.

At this free, one-day event we will test out our new training sessions before the full launch of the training programme.  The training will be delivered by leading experts including Harriet Wistrich, Solicitor and Director of CWJ.  The day will include input from a woman with lived experience of domestic abuse and the criminal justice system.

For further details see the attached flyer.  Please forward these details to any lawyers who may be interested in attending.
