About the event
Often I am asked about how I got into legal consulting work, so we can talk about this some and how you might find your own legal work, tips to prepare you, and interesting lessons I've learned along the way. As midwives, this work is especially important and challenging because attorneys are not often familiar with midwifery laws, or even midwives. One of the greater challenges is understanding how the legal mindset differs so much from the mindset of evidence-based care or the "gold standard." I'll leave time for engagement, questions, and ponderings.
