    Hello Family Law Section members,

    On Sept. 22, NJICLE will present Webcast- Guardians Ad Litem - How They Work and How to Get Appointed from 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m.

    From the Family Part to the Civil Part to Chancery and Probate, this brand-new seminar covers everything you need to know about Guardians Ad Litem (GAL). A distinguished panel of Judges and practitioners share real world scenarios to give context to the Statutes, Rules and Case Law that govern Guardians Ad Litem. There are numerous situations where it is vital for a GAL to be appointed. 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-regardless of who your client is. 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.

    Don't miss this unique seminar and register today.
