NJSBA Family Law Section

Hello Family Law Section members,

On July 24 and 25, NJICLE and the Family Law Section will present the 2018 Family Law Summer Institute from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the New Jersey Law Center.

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.

The Institute provides attendees with an opportunity to interact and learn from speakers who devote most of their professional lives to family court matters. Individuals seeking to enter into or expand their family law practice, as well as those wanting to learn more nuanced perspectives about matrimonial issues, will benefit from attending.
