Description
RESOLVE W-I-N-S
The COVID-19 crisis on family conflicts in our Probate and Family Courts has impacted everyone from our judiciary, court professionals, attorneys, to the litigants struggling to access justice. While we as practitioners applaud our court’s leaders for the tremendous technological strides that have been made, COVID-19 has dragged the Probate and Family Court into the 21st Century. This program will explore what has worked and what hasn’t and identify the long-term solutions that will endure and enhance the access to justice for all. It will discuss the alternative dispute options available outside of the courtroom and why they may now be the best option for many cases. Join our distinguished panel of sitting and a retired judge and family law attorneys to learn how domestic relations cases and probate litigation can move forward in the ever-changing COVID-19 environment. The program will include an overview of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), the virtual courtroom, client management, COVID-19’s impact on Guardian Ad Litem, parenting plans and asset valuation, and so much more!
Topics that will be covered in the webinar include:

Description
The judges on the panel drafted—and will present for general discussion—a hypothetical case study that raises a variety of practical and problematic evidentiary issues in the cases that they are hearing and you are trying every day. Issues around the challenges of virtual trials and evidentiary hearings will also be addressed.
This online CLE will not be a series of dry lectures on the “Black Letter” rules of evidence. Rather, it will be an interactive discussion of how judges rule on evidentiary issues that are rarely black and white in family-law cases.
Online registration is encouraged. For assistance, questions on group discounts, accommodations requests, special billing, program content, out-of-state CLE credits, and general CLE information contact Michael Saporito by email at msaporito@socialaw.com. Registrations accepted in order of receipt. Registration fees are non-refundable. Most Social Law Library CLE events are recorded. The recording is available by digital download, generally within a week after the program date. Most downloads include print material and are $19.95 each. This product purchase is separate from CLE registration and is not included in the price of a CLE registration. CLE credit, when applicable, is only granted when the live webinar is attended.
