Program Desciption
Great trial lawyers are not born. Rather, successful trial advocacy is the result of thorough preparation, true heart and grit, and practice, practice, practice. And practice is what you will receive at CBA-CLE’s Annual Family Law Evidence Practicum! Spend the day with judges and some of the most experienced domestic relations attorneys in Colorado as they share their craft, advice and tips on key evidentiary techniques such as laying a foundation, making the proper objection, hearsay, and much more. At the end of the day, you will have the confidence you need to succeed in the courtroom.
Whether it's valuing a business after the passage of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the disclosure of assets and liabilities, tips on presenting a case to a CFI, or a practical analysis of the most recent case law and legislative activity, this program will get you up to date on all that is happening in Colorado family law. PLUS two ethics credits!
