Trauma‐informed lawyering in the context of civil claims for sexual violence.
Over the last decade, there has been an increase in civil compensation claims for sexual violence in the United Kingdom (UK). Given that trauma‐informed approaches have been called for in relation to legal responses to sexual violence, we put forward seven key principles of trauma‐informed lawyering...

Given that trauma‐informed approaches have been called for in relation to legal responses to sexual violence, we put forward seven key principles of trauma‐informed lawyering in this context and draw on interviews with UK‐based civil lawyers who represented sexual violence survivors to explore the extent to which trauma‐informed work is taking place. While we found that our sample of lawyers typically had a very good knowledge of sexual violence and the trauma that it can cause, there was less certainty about how to accommodate the impacts in practice. Moreover, there was a tendency to prioritize individual healing and medicalize a form of social injustice. We conclude by emphasizing the need for legal training and education on a trauma‐informed approach that accounts for the social and political dimensions of sexual violence and trauma. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Law & Society is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
