CPCS approved for 2.5 hours of credit from the Children and Family Law (CAFL) panel.
Fiction, it has been said, is the lie that tells the truth. So, too, are the in-court hypotheticals that this CLE will use to highlight true-to-life evidentiary issues as they actually arise in family court. The judges on the panel drafted—and will present for general discussion—a series of case studies that raise a number of practical and problematic evidentiary issues in the kinds of cases that they hear—and you try—every day. This CLE will not be a series of dry lectures on the “Black Letter” rules of evidence; rather, it will be a realistic discussion of how judges rule on evidentiary issues in family-law cases that are rarely black and white.
