In this workshop, created by Anjali Mehta and Jill Sigman, advocates used  movement to engage with emotional reactions that they have to cases and clients. They explored potential inherent biases related to instinctual reactions such as anger, sadness, fear, and relief, that may relate to the tension between the law’s limits and a client’s interests. The workshop also engaged tools of movement (breath, posture, body language, expression awareness) to help lawyers and law students be better advocates both in court and out of court, for their clients.
