2023-08-03 12:00 - 13:00
The Del-Chen-O Board is excited to invite you to join us for our virtual “Lunch with a Judge” series. We are honored to begin the series this year with an Associate Justice for the Third Department, the Hon. Christine M. Clark. The first lunch for this series will be held:

Thursday, August 3, 2023 at 12:00 PM.

The monthly meetings with judges in our Judicial District will allow you to get to know each judge and perhaps learn a few tricks for success as well as pet peeves to avoid. It is a wonderful opportunity to have a casual meeting and be able to chat about any topic.

If you do not have Teams on your computer, download it now so you are ready to go. The Teams link will be sent out on the day of the event.

Help spread the word so all practitioners can join in on this great opportunity.

Presented by the Kyra Franchetti Foundation

Program is for New York Attorneys for the Child and Guardian ad Litems – 18b/GAL Panel Attorneys

This is both complimentary and CLE eligible

Child custody cases routinely include domestic violence accusations, with studies citing 50-80% of cases involve abuse. One of the most violent times is during the separation phase and court proceedings. Children are too often used as a weapon of post-separation coercive control, or as the target.

Co-parenting and cooperation are the ideal in healthy break ups, however in abusive ones the perpetrator’s violence, manipulation, and coercive tactics make safety and stability impossible. Matrimonial and family court professionals must be able to understand the issues surrounding domestic violence and child abuse, interrogate the evidence, understand the perpetrator’s patterns (and more!) to make informed decisions for the well-being and safety of the child.

Due to high demand and limited number of seats for this program this is open to 18b/GAL panel attorneys.

Program will be facilitated by the Safe & Together Institute.
