Big “C” Conversations
May 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
When I was in Kansas City last week one of my sessions was geared toward emerging issues in forensic healthcare. I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly [...]

So a quick post about an upcoming webinar on a topic not widely covered: FORGE is offering a session, Disability and Transgender Survivors: Empowering Providers Who Work with Multiply Marginalized Populations. It will be [...]

I’m heading out the door to SoCal for a couple different stops with the Marines (1st defense, then prosecution, so should be a lively week), but I managed to get a little reading done [...]

Second, between training Army lawyers earlier in the week and training 2 sets of Marine lawyers next week, can I tell you how nice it was to be in a room full of [...]
