About The Program:

Every year, attorneys like you turn to NJICLE’s Hot Tips in Family Law to hear fast-paced advice from some of New Jersey’s leading matrimonial lawyers and retired judges.

Featuring 45 highly-respected matrimonial experts who are ready to share their top tips with you, this year’s program will explore complex ethical issues that are seemingly ever-present in a family law practice, including the topics you asked for like conflicts and referrals, confidentiality and privilege, candor towards the tribunal, and zealous advocacy in the matrimonial law setting.

Our distinguished panel will also share their collective knowledge/experience, strategies, and proven “best practices” to avoid or overcome complicated ethical dilemmas in specific family law situations, providing you with practical, thoughtful tactics that you can use in your practice immediately. You will earn the four ethics credits that you need for your CLE cycle, and if you have enough ethics credits already, you can put those credits towards your general requirement. Make your plans to attend today!
