Navigation Dade Legal Aid packed the house for its annual ‘Nuts & Bolts of Family Law’ Seminar
The “Nuts & Bolts of Divorce Family Law” seminar has been a staple of Dade Legal Aid’s “Put Something Back,” pro bono program. Now in its 31stt year, the annual CLE event took place May 24 to help recruit and train new attorneys for family law pro bono cases.
The program, put together in coordination with the Miami-Dade Bar Association’s Family Courts Committee and Young Lawyers Section, draws between 75-85 attorneys each year, but for the 2023 edition, a whopping 120 sold the seminar out forcing registration to close early because the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center couldn’t hold them all.
Dade Legal Aid’s Executive Director Karen Ladis says Nuts & Bolts has trained thousands of new family law pro bono attorneys over the years but noted, “We still get the most seasoned family law attorneys who come to these seminars. They feel if they learn one new thing it’s a benefit.”
