FLS - Year in Review - Recap
As a reminder, the forms to join the CCBA and FLS are going out in the next edition of Hearsay. Remember, you have to be a member of the CCBA to be a member of FLS.
Last year we had a great membership turnout so don't let me down this year! The CCBA membership fee is $135.00 and the FLS membership fee is $25.00.
Next year, we will continue to meet every second Thursday of every month September through June. The location is still floating.
The 2009-2010 year was a lively one for the FLS. We have succeeded in attracting high numbers of attorneys to the meetings and many Commissioners and Judges attend as well. Our CLE presentations consisted of topics ranging from drug testing to bankruptcy to sex addiction. We have a new “Santa,” Commissioner Stahnke, to host our annual holiday awards meeting; we have a subcommittee working on creating an attorney work room at the Family Law Annex; and one of our members, Crystal Lambert, generously volunteered to recreate a Family Law Expert Book for our members.
I encourage people to continue checking the blog. I created the blog to keep members "in the know" about upcoming meetings, events, and announcements so that they are not reliant on the mass emails I send out. Invariably, someone does not receive the mass email due to security blocking, a typo, etc.
Thanks for the great year and looking forward to the next!

Mandatory Mediation Proposal Meeting, July 15
Thanks to everyone who attended our summer meeting to discuss the CCAM Mandatory Mediation proposal.
We had a lively discussion and we made some progress. Judges and members were able to share their reasons for supporting the proposal or their concerns about the proposal. Most of the questions and concerns are along similar lines.
A steering committee was formed to help with the proposal. I will keep in close contact with the steering committee so I can keep the FLS informed as to any changes or updates made.
If you are interested in joining the steering committee, please let me know!
