    Good afternoon Family Law Section members,

    On Thursday, Oct. 29, NJICLE will present Webcast- Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART): Update 2020 from 12 to 2:15 p.m.

    COVID-19 affected just about every part of our lives, from how we shop to how we socialize. And it has impacted some very personal aspects of our lives as well. No one knows this more than people undergoing fertility treatments, entering into gestational carrier arrangements or trying to adopt when the pandemic struck. Our informative lunchtime webinar will bring you up-to-date on the latest issues relating to Covid and adoption practice and other recent developments in family building.
