As laws surrounding pregnancy-related prosecutions continue to evolve, defenders must be prepared to navigate the legal, medical, and forensic complexities involved.

In partnership with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project, part of the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, is offering a free two-day training designed to equip criminal defense attorneys with the skills necessary to defend cases where pregnancy outcomes or healthcare decisions become the focus of criminal charges. The interactive program will include practical trial strategies, including voir dire techniques, working with forensic pathologists, and crafting compelling case narratives.

The full schedule and registration can be found here. Pre-registration is required. Please reach out to reproductivejustice@law.utexas.edu with any questions!
