Psychology and the Law: Working Together in Criminal Practice
LSC Psychology invites you to an engaging evening of learning and connection with our clinicians in the Sydney CBD.
This three-hour interactive session is designed for criminal lawyers interested in deepening their understanding of the psychological aspects of client matters. Together, we’ll explore:
- How psychologists can best support legal practice in criminal matters
- The differences between the different types of reports, and how each can assist your work and your clients
- Insights into offending behaviour and treatment options available to clients entering and exiting the criminal justice system
The evening will include a case presentation and group discussion, as well as time to network with colleagues from both the legal and psychology professions over drinks and canapes. You’ll take away practical psycho-legal tip-sheets that may be helpful in your day-to-day practice.
