OCJ's FAIR Learning Forum: Trauma-Informed Law + Well-Being Practices

Oregon Consumer Justice invites you to join us on Friday, May 9, 2025, in Tigard, for a day of community and shared learning focused on trauma-informed law and well-being practices to culminate .

Burnout and attrition present real threats to the health of legal professionals and consumer advocates, impacting our collective ability to build a more fair and equitable Oregon. This event will discuss why broadening access to justice calls on our ability to center people—those facing systemic harm and those fighting on their behalf.

OCJ is thrilled to address these topics with two impactful speakers who will offer actionable strategies to support you, your clients, and our shared work in advancing consumer justice in Oregon. Visiting from Vancouver, BC, Myrna McCallum is an award-winning podcaster (check out: The Trauma-Informed Lawyer), editor, and pioneer of trauma-informed lawyering. David Rosen is the founder and owner of the boutique personal injury law firm High Desert Law, the past president of the Oregon Law Foundation, and a 500-hour RYT yoga instructor joining us from Bend, Oregon.

This free event will offer 4.5 continuing legal education (CLE) credits (3 Access to Justice and 1.5 Mental Health/Substance Use).

Info: Myrna McCallum is a true change-maker, award-winning podcaster, and leading champion of trauma-informed lawyering.
