“Dear Attorneys: What Seasoned Psychologists Want You to Know” is a unique, tailored webinar experience crafted by these seasoned psychologists with a combined 180 years experience in the field. They have put together this series out of concerns for what they have been observing: an ongoing misuse of psychological testing in forensic settings, coupled with a dearth of litigation skills on how to address it. They are convening this series to provide attorneys and other members of the defense team just such information, background and strategies for a better defense of your clients.
