Lunch and Learn

Working With Families in Capital Cases

During this Lunch and Learn discussion, Susannah Sheffer will address questions from her Oct. 31st webinar and offer deeper insights on the topic overall.

Lunch and Learn sessions are designed to give participants the opportunity to revisit previous sessions to refresh their knowledge, catch up on what they missed, and take a deeper dive into topics that are difficult to cover in just one 90-minute session. Participants are typically asked to complete an assignment ahead of each session to establish a knowledge baseline. All assignments will be available on Perusall, a community learning platform where members of the group can respond to the materials and each other with comments and questions. Registrants will receive Perusall login information and instructions for accessing materials by the registration deadline.
