Family Law Section

The Family Law Section provides help to members in the areas of business, organizational and time management assistance, contact with other family law practitioners and more. This section holds monthly meetings with CLE credit, and sponsors CLE events throughout the year, as well, often partnering with other family advocacy organizations. The section also sponsors periodic social/networking receptions, giving members the opportunity to meet in a casual, relaxed environment. 

The Family Law Section, in conjunction with Domestic Relations Court, sponsored a Clam Bake and WiFi Fundraiser on October 24, 2010 at Boyerts Farm in Medina.  Proceeds from the fundraiser supported the WiFi Project at the Old Courthouse.  Click here for more details.
