Description
Handling clients with family disputes can be challenging, Clients are often distressed, angry or hurt. This makes learning about client management in family dispute resolution even more important than other areas of law.
This talk first walks you through basic principles in divorce and judicial separation. It also involves an interactive session on meeting the clients and discussion of common issues faced by family practitioners. It aims to prepare those new to the area on ways to distill facts at the first client consultation, and advise clients by applying the law to their facts.
