This year’s topics include:

  • A discussion of informal information-gathering and available formal discovery tools, including e-discovery and spoliation issues
  • An overview of recent ethics rule changes and what they mean for your family law practice, including recent changes to the trust accounting procedures
  • A session on domestic violence and protective orders

BONUS: The downloadable e-book seminar materials include the 2020 edition of Virginia Family Law: A Systemic Approach publication—a $249 value! This is the definitive “how-to” book on the practice of family law in Virginia. The chapters address every aspect of the representation from the initial interview of the client through the final orders and decrees. The book includes over 200 forms for pleadings, orders, and correspondence covering all aspects of the litigation. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or are new to family law practice, this book is a critical resource you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
