I would say absolutely not, although I'm not going to paint everybody with the same brush stroke. There are some wonderful members at the IRB, but I can tell you that right now I have an ongoing complaint against an individual who repeatedly blamed and asked my client why she stayed with her abuser. That shows to me that the member has no training in the gender guidelines, or maybe she received one or two days of CLE, continuing legal education, but she obviously doesn't understand the impact of violence on an individual.
