FLS November Meeting
CCBA FLS – NOVEMBER 11 MEETING – GUEST SPEAKER CATHERINE SMITH AND VALERIE VILLACIN
SPEAKERS: Catherine Smith and Valerie Villacin will join us from King County for our November meeting. They will discuss family law appeals in general, standards of review, reasons to appeal, what types of issues are likely to get some traction, and strategies for dealing with appeals as a respondent. They will incorporate some discussion to satisfy an ethical credit as well.
WHEN: The meeting will be Thursday, November 11, 2010 from 10:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. We will take a half hour break for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to eat lunch.
The November 11 meeting falls on Veteran’s Day. Most of the family law attorneys will be working that day so after discussion with the speakers and some members, I decided to go ahead with the meeting. This is in no way intended to take away from the appreciation for our veterans and the sacrifices they made to keep our country free.
WHERE: The meeting will be held at Tommy O’s from 10:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. We will take a half hour break for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
