Presented by the Federal Circuit & Family Court of Australia at Canberra in conjunction with the Family Law Committee of the ACT Law Society
Court etiquette and advocacy for family lawyers
Are you an early career family lawyer admitted in the last 3 - 4 years or a bit more experienced, but want a refresher?
Have you had limited or no opportunity to appear in person in the FCFCOA? Did you attend the previous Court training and want to continue developing your skills?
If this describes you then register to attend this CPD event to be held at the Federal Circuit and Family Court, Canberra Registry. This CPD is designed to assist those practitioners who may not have had many opportunities to appear in person at court and to give an opportunity to talk to and ask questions of members of the bench in an informal environment.
Make sure to register early. This is a very popular event which sells out quickly.
Presenters: Members of the FCFCOA Judiciary along with members of the Family Law Committee of the ACT Law Society.
