The concept of “professionalism” in prosecution is often focused on a prosecutor’s treatment towards others-- victims, witnesses, opposing counsel and the Court. Functioning as the best version of our professional self is often difficult in an industry rife with burnout, lack of resources and vicarious trauma. This webinar is intended to adjust the lens through which we view professionalism by demonstrating how personal and institutional wellbeing create the essential foundation upon which every professional relationship can be built.
