Family violence cases are especially complex and often require particular insight and understanding.
This FREE full-day forum will increase and deepen your knowledge of the background dynamics of family and intimate partner violence.
Lawyers may find themselves acting for those using or experiencing family violence in a wide range of legal contexts and in relation to a range of legal issues. The demands on lawyers in relation to this complex and specialised issue are changing. For example, judges are receiving training on family violence dynamics and the District Court in its criminal jurisdiction is modifying a traditional adversarial approach by seeking to include innovations from the solution-focussed courts. In this forum, experts will provide you with the most up to date understandings around family violence, as well as discussing a range of recent developments and possibilities in the context of criminal law, family law and tenancy law.
