MCLE Conference Center
10 Winter Place

Although only a small percentage of divorce cases are actually tried to conclusion, successful domestic relations practitioners must be prepared to try cases or successfully negotiate a settlement in the process. This one-day seminar helps you improve your trial techniques by giving you the unique opportunity to observe seasoned domestic relations practitioners in action; the expert faculty try a mock divorce case from start to finish. A real estate broker and forensic accountant testify about the considerations in determining the value of a marital home and how to locate and value assets and small business income. A lawyer experienced in alternative dispute resolution provides insight into the use of ADR options as a trial alternative and while preparing for trial.*** A Probate and Family Court judge presides over the trial, rules on evidentiary objections, provides advice, and critiques each segment as it is presented.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to spend a day with litigation experts to gain valuable insight into how to prepare and try a divorce case!
 

***  Note -- The agenda includes the following section on ADR:
"Arbitration, Mediation, Collaboration and other ADR alternatives: Working with Lawyers to 'Win' for Clients" presented by Michael L. Leshin, Esq., Goldman & Sidgwick, LLP
