Law School/Legal Education Part 3: Cindy Adcock
Cindy talks about the recommendations that law school be integrative and how Charlotte Law is building a curriculum responsive to those recommendations.
She also talks about the trauma that the legal team experiences in capital cases and how important it is to educate law students about the importance of taking care of themselves. How does one attend an execution one day and then go to work the next day? She points out that it is NORMAL to be traumatized by some of the situations lawyers deal with and that we need to develop a language and space for talking about it.
