MISSION
The Unified Family Practice Committee works to initiate and consider suggestions to improve the practice of marital and family law in the 15th Circuit. Members of the bench and bar, along with key court personnel from Court Operations, the Clerk’s Office and the Court ADR office, meet bi-monthly to address how this can be done as issues are brought to the Committee’s attention. In addition, the Committee maintains this webpage, reviews and assists in the drafting of Administrative Orders, submits occasional articles in the Bar Bulletin, contributes ideas for the annual Bench-Bar Conference, provides substantive and procedural information to our members, and keeps members posted on various matters of interest, running the gamut from legislation to CLEs, on both the State and local levels, as well as other activities in the legal community about which they should be aware. The Committee welcomes new members.

Committees are a great way to get involved with your local bar association, network with your colleagues and become a leader in your legal community.

Meetings generally last one hour and include lunch for committee members who RSVP. Dial-in is available for members who cannot attend in person. All interested attorneys, Judges, Magistrates, and court staff are encouraged to attend. If you are not a member and plan on attending an upcoming meeting, please e-mail one of the co-chairs to RSVP.
