Limited Assistance Representation in Domestic Relations Cases Hands-On Training Workshop

Please join the Family Law Section as we kick-off the 2006-2007 program year with a hands-on training workshop focused on limited assistance representation in domestic relations cases.

Beginning November 1, 2006, attorneys who have attended this or another orientation program may file limited appearances in Suffolk Probate and Family Court. Once the terms of the limited appearance have been satisfied, the attorney is not obligated to appear in further proceedings.

Attendees at this workshop will receive sample retainer agreements and other materials to assist in establishing a limited representation aspect to their practice.

Among the issues to be addressed are:

• What are the ethical issues? What is the standard of care?
• What are the common pitfalls and how do I avoid them?
• How can I set up office procedures to make it work smoothly and profitably?

Speakers:

• Hon. Edward Ginsburg, Retired Judge of the Middlesex Probate and Family Court; Chair of the Subcommittee for the Pilot Project on Limited Representation of the SJC’s Committee on Unrepresented Litigants; and founder of Senior Partners for Justice
  
• Edward Notis-McConarty, Co-Chair of the SJC’s Committee on Unrepresented Litigants; and partner at Hemenway & Barnes
