Basic Interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce Training
Collaborative law practice has grown exponentially throughout the state and the passage of the Collaborative Law Act in 2014 has heightened interest in this unique form of family dispute resolution. This intensive two-day seminar will provide you with the background, strategies and confidence you need to get started today. As an attendee, you'll hear a thorough explanation of the collaborative process, explore when it is and isn't appropriate to use collaborative law, and examine all of the relevant ethical issues involved.

Flip Your Memory Switch
We have all had times that something slips away whether information about a witness, a particular clause for a contract or the name of a colleague. We resign ourselves to expect that we won't be able to remember everything that we should or would like. But what if we could recall facts, testimony and ideas when we need them the most? We would be better prepared, more confident and may even win more cases.

Enter Matthew Goerke, one of America's leading experts in the field of memory development. In Matthew's interactive 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to organize your mind, sharpen your memory and add another weapon to your legal arsenal.

Featuring:
Matthew Goerke
American Memory Master

• Summarize legal opinions without needing notes
