MISSION

The Unified Family Practice Committee works to initiate and consider suggestions to improve the practice of marital and family law in the 15^th 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.
