Product Description

MCLE is pleased to present its twenty-fourth annual comprehensive Conference developed exclusively for the family law practitioner! This year's Family Law Conference has been revamped and revitalized for the online audience, spread out over two half-days instead of a single long day. The Conference takes a close look at a number of sophisticated issues and provides timely, practical information for all levels of practice. Hear from leading practitioners, experts, and judges speaking on current and emerging issues in family law and practice. 

Conference highlights include an appellate panel, financial planning, tips for enhancing your virtual network and marketing, and a discussion that looks at parenting plans and the pitfalls of fully shared parenting arrangements. Also included are the annual case law and legislative update, an update on the state of the Probate and Family Court from Chief Justice Casey, and a chance to hear from the newly appointed judges with their tips for you. Attendees also receive the 2021 Massachusetts Family Law Sourcebook & Citator electronically at no extra charge.
