Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association looks at social psychology and the law
It wasn’t an easy decision for Nora Constance Marino to go to law school, as she always had a passion for psychology. Even after many years working as a trial lawyer, she still couldn’t shake her passion for it and began taking classes at Queens College.
A little more than a year later, she brought what she learned at Queens College back to the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA), where she shared some tips on how psychology can make better attorneys during a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar in Brooklyn Heights on Thursday.
“Nora and I met at one of the dinners. We talked about being a trial attorney, which she has done for many years, and she had an interest in taking psychology courses,” said Sara Gozo, president of the BWBA. “She took two courses, one in behaviorism and another in social psychology, and we got to talking about some of the things she learned and how she found it helpful to her in the practice of law.”
