2019 Annual Family Law Institute: Changing Perspectives

Presented by the CBA Family Law Section - In Cooperation with Colorado Bar Association CLE

Program Description:

It’s 2019, and our world and field of practice are rapidly evolving. To remain efficient and effective, family law practitioners need to be aware of and open to changing perspectives!

Attend this year’s Family Law Institute on August 15, 16, and 17 in beautiful Vail, CO!

At this year’s Institute, hear from experienced attorneys, professionals, and more than a dozen judicial officers on topics like collaborative law, preserving issues for appeal, and alienation and familial repair. Attend practical sessions that will build your skill base, including a multi-session courtroom practicum. Learn the ins and outs of child hearsay, tips on preparing a relocation case for trial, and guidance for organizing and presenting a one-hour temporary orders hearing.
