CLE: A Snapshot of Restorative Practices and Restorative Circles
Join us in Chicago from 9 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Monday, March 9 for an introduction to restorative philosophy, principles, and circle process, as well as their practical use in helping parties who need to communicate in sustainable and respectful ways to move forward. It will be a “first step” in exposing participants to the nuts and bolts of circle process. Restorative justice principles can be applied across multiple practice areas. Attorneys attending this program will better understand: the circle process and the community building that circles foster and inspire; the skill-building that circles support, including listening, communication, critical thinking, analysis, reflection, and collaboration; and how to build upon and apply these skills in working with clients, colleagues, members of the bar, and others as they begin to think about the benefits in fulfilling their roles and carrying out their responsibilities.
This program qualifies for 3.0 hours MCLE credit, including 3.0 hours Professionalism, Civility, or Legal Ethics MCLE credit (subject to approval).
