Clients with sex offenses often face assumptions about risk, rehabilitation, and future dangerousness that can heavily influence advocacy and decision-making. Understanding how research, risk assessment tools, and related data are used and interpreted is essential to building effective, evidence-informed advocacy.

Join Advancing Real Change (ARC) for this webinar with Matt Vigil, Supervising Attorney with Saint Louis University School of Law’s Legal Clinics, for a practical follow-up to ARC’s Clients with Sex Offenses: What the Data Says webinar. Participants will examine how risk assessment results and other data can be interpreted, contextualized within a client’s life history, and communicated to judges and other decision-makers. The session will also address strategies for working effectively with experts, responding to common misconceptions, and supporting client-centered advocacy.
