Although only a small percentage of divorce cases are actually tried to conclusion, the successful domestic relations practitioner must be prepared to try cases or successfully negotiate a settlement in the process. This program helps you improve your trial techniques by giving you the unique opportunity to observe seasoned domestic relations practitioners in action. Throughout the program, experienced domestic relations trial practitioners try a mock divorce case from start to finish. A real estate broker and forensic accountant testify about the considerations in determining value of a marital home and how to locate and value assets and small business income. A lawyer seasoned 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 opportunity to spend a day with litigation experts to gain valuable insight into how to prepare and try a divorce case!
