THE OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION FAMILY LAW SECTION PRESENTS:
THE 2016 OKLAHOMA FAMILY LAW TRIAL ADVOCACY INSTITUTE
A Dissolution of Marriage Case Involving Custody and Asset/Debt Division
The goal of the Institute is to provide a unique experience for our OBA FLS members: the opportunity to receive practical assistance from respected, experienced family law attorneys, and to receive direct feedback from the District Judges.
The attendees will receive real-world advice from their mentors and the judges as well as assistance with legal issues.
This is a seven-day CLE in which each participant will prepare for and try a complicated Dissolution of Marriage case involving custody of three minor children, the equitable division of a family business, and both parties having significant issues.
Each attendee will be assigned to an experienced family law attorney to mentor and assist in the preparation of the case, including document preparation and strategy.
Attendees will present their case before actual judges and will receive feedback from TAI members and the judges at the conclusion of the hearings.

The OBA FLS is excited to offer its members a marvelous opportunity to work directly with our judiciary and experienced family law attorneys in order to improve their skills as family law litigators. The Trial Advocacy Institute began with a vision of our FLS leadership. The 2014 inaugural Trial Advocacy Institute was a huge success with 19 graduate trial lawyers. The 2015 Trial Advocacy Institute was equally successful with 21 graduate trial lawyers.
Jon Ford presented the idea to the OBA Board of Governors and requested that the Family Law Section be allowed to conserve the monies received from the sale of our Practice Manual to provide the seed money for this wonderful project. The Board approved his request. After meeting our financial goal we made the Institute a reality. The cost of the 2016 program is $1,750 for OBA FLS members. Tuition includes all of the institute materials, breakfast, lunches and non-alcoholic beverages during the seven program days, with a final luncheon on the last day of the CLE. Payment plans are available. Call for deadlines, cancellation policies and payment plan details. The OBA FLS through the use of the Practice Manual funds is underwriting a portion of the expenses normally borne by attendees in the other programs. In addition, the attorneys and judges who will be participating in the Institute are donating their time and services. A Special Thanks To Our Judiciary Volunteers. This Event Would Not Be Possible Without Their Valuable Time And Assistance. |
