About The Program:

Why You Need to Attend:
Every summer approximately 150 family lawyers come to the Law Center to attend an information packed two day program, which reviews almost every aspect of family law practice. There's something for every family lawyer at the Family Law Summer Institute. Those just starting out benefit from hearing a large and authoritative panel of matrimonial attorneys and judges discuss how to conduct client interviews, deal with adversaries, and negotiate, settle and try cases. Experienced attorneys benefit from hearing fresh insights and nuanced perspectives about how to handle complicated and ethically challenging problems that often arise in family practice.

Receive practical guidance from family law experts and family law judges with over 10,000 hours of courtroom experience, including the following topics:
• Oral and written advocacy that judges view as effective and ineffective
• The four steps to understanding any forensic accounting report or mental health
    professional’s report
• How to make effective “goal-oriented” decisions on subjects ranging from:
    - arbitration vs. litigation
    - when to file pendente lite applications
    - use of professionals
    - factors to evaluate in determining whether to accept or reject a new client

This is a two-day interactive seminar to provide practical experience from a panel that has devoted most of their professional lives to family court matters. This is a seminar for individuals seeking to enter or expand their practice into family law as well as those seeking instruction on some of the nuanced perspectives that appear in virtually all family law cases.
