Our panel of 3 judges will provide their top tips for family law conferences, motions and trials. Each judge will speak for 20 minutes and there will be time for Q&A at the end.
Some of the issues that will be considered include:
- What is the right balance between advocacy vs. settlement focus for a conference?
- What are the most common errors that counsel make at conferences?
- What drafting errors are most common in affidavits and in factums?
- When making oral submissions, are there things that counsel do that are inappropriate or annoying to the court?
- When is it appropriate to make objections at trial and how often should counsel be interrupting?
- When is it appropriate to re-examine a witness?
