Conciliation Training

p.m.
Boston Bar Association, 16 Beacon St., Boston
Are you wondering how you may assist
the Probate and Family Court at a time when budgetary constraints
and staffing shortages create particular challenges, while
simultaneously learning skills that may expand and grow your law
practices at little or no cost to you?
The Massachusetts Bar Association and Boston Bar Association
cordially invite family law practitioners with at least five years
of domestic relations experience to participate in a conciliation
training at the BBA, 16 Beacon St., Boston on Friday, Oct. 5 from
8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Presenters include:
- Hon. Robert W. Langlois (ret.)
- Fran Giordano, Esq.
- Lloyd Godson, Esq.
- Geraldine McEvoy, Esq.
- Eugene Nigro, Esq.
- Joanne Romanow, Esq.
- Victoria Rothbaum, Esq.
- Gayle Stone-Turesky, Esq.
At this program, you will become
certified as a conciliator, enabling you to be placed on the
Probate and Family Courts' list of trained conciliators. Attendance
at the program is FREE, except for the fees associated with
materials if you do not print them out yourself.
In exchange, you will be asked to commit to volunteering for at
least one day at the Probate and Family Court as a conciliator or
for a "conciliation" project such as the pilot program at the
Suffolk Probate and Family Court.
There are limited spots left to participate in this unique
opportunity, so please respond quickly if you wish to attend.
Participants will be able to attend on a first come, first serve
basis.
If you are already a trained conciliator and are interested in
volunteer conciliation opportunities, please contact the Boston Bar
Association's Family Law Steering Committee. Registration is
required to attend.
