Want to have a better understanding of the role of the child and permissibility of their testimony in domestic abuse proceedings? This training is for you!
The Family Court Enhancement Project has been working for four years to help all family court practitioners, including lawyers and advocates, better understand the needs of children and their interests in domestic abuse proceedings. This training will discuss how and when it is appropriate to use children’s testimony as well as the process and relevant evidentiary considerations when deciding to do so. This training will be led by Hennepin County Family Court Referee Mike Furnstahl, family law attorney Tom Tuft of the law office of Tuft, Lach, Jerabek & O’Connell, and Legal Advocate Amanda Keuseman of Home Free Community Programs.
This 1.5 hour training is free of charge and will be offered at the Minneapolis Central Library, Pohlad Hall S-280. CLE credit has been applied for.
