NJSBA Family Law Section

Good afternoon Family Law Section members,

On Monday, Aug. 8, NJICLE will present Webcast- The US Congress - An Owner's Guide from 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m.

Gun law. Abortion. Voting legislation. Protection for federal judges.

How you thought Congress once worked or should work is not what happens today. A six-term Member of Congress tells the inside story of how Congress really works (or doesn’t), the state of politics, the secrets to effective advocacy, possible fixes to the broken system and what it all means for the future of law and the nation.

Brian Baird served for six terms in Congress and was known and respected for taking principled stands, working with both sides of the aisle and fighting to improve the practices and ethics of Congress. A licensed clinical psychologist, university president, author, and President of
4pr2 Communications he is recognized as “the funniest celebrity in Washington”, Baird combines real world insights, surprising facts, practical examples and humor into the most enjoyable, frightening and inspiring talk about our government and the people in it.

The Congressman will be joined by Jay Redd, former Deputy Executive Director and General Counsel to the New Jersey Senate Majority Office. Mr. Redd is the Managing Principal of Stono Public Affairs, an organization that engages in traditional government relations work as well as culturally relevant issue advocacy.
