    From the Family Part to the Civil Part to Chancery and Probate, this informative seminar covers everything you need to know about guardians ad litem (GAL). A distinguished panel of judges and practitioners will share real-world scenarios to give context to the statutes, rules and case law that govern GALs. There are numerous situations where a GAL is vital. Learn when, why and how to request one in your cases. Once a GAL is appointed, whether you requested one or not, it is also important to know the best way to work with one to get the best outcome for your client. Additionally, being appointed as a GAL is a great way to expand your practice. Hear from the judges how you can get on their list of go-to appointees and what you can do to stay there once appointed.
