Contributions to an emergency shelter for victims of domestic abuse that will enable them to bring their pets, a continuing donation to The Florida Bar Foundation, offering scholarships for its family law certification review course, and providing timely CLE programs have been priorities for the Family Law Section.

Immediate past section Chair Amy Hamlin chose the Harbor House of Central Florida’s Paws for Peace Kennel for the section’s annual chair honorarium of $5,000.

The kennel means that victims of domestic violence don’t have to face a wrenching decision on leaving behind beloved pets when they seek protection in Harbor House’s shelter.
