Focus
California Family Law Report (CFLR) will present the bi-annual Advanced Family Law Course (AFLC) in August and September
2011. This completely redesigned program showcases an all-star faculty of 19 judges and lawyers!
AFLC is designed for both experienced family law practitioners and attorneys new to family law. It is also a “must” for those
preparing to take the Certified Family Law Specialist Exam! Our expert faculty will provide test-taking tips and suggestions on
how to improve your study skills. Attendees will sit for a practice exam that will be reviewed at the end of the course.
The program consists of 5 days (30 hours) of live presentations, plus 25 hours of on-demand video lectures. These video
lectures can be accessed at any time and any place, so that you can review exam topics or focus on particular substantive areas
at your convenience. This State Bar-approved course will satisfy the entire educational requirement for Family Law Specialist
certification (or recertification), including 6 hours of credit in Category 5 (Psychology and Counseling).
Past attendees, as well as first-timers, will benefit from AFLC’s guidance on complex family issues and up-to-the-minute review of new case law. This is truly a “don't miss” event!
