Make a Difference One Child at a Time: Free Attorney ad Litem Training set for April 22, 2022

Do you ever ponder about expanding your legal skills and learning about new areas of the law? Do you also think about the most vulnerable population of our community and how you can help a child’s future? If you answered yes to these questions, this training is for you!

We have an exciting day planned for you that will result in your knowledge and competence to make a difference in a child’s life by serving as an Attorney ad Litem. Please join us on Friday, April 22, 2022, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. where you will hear from experienced attorneys, judges, and community providers, and even a panel of youth that have been through the dependency court process. You will also earn valuable CLE credits for your attendance.

The training is FREE and includes a light breakfast, lunch, and a happy hour to follow. So, what’s the catch? The only requirement is that after you complete the training you accept an appointment as an Attorney ad Litem for a child in a dependency case. We promise that you will have many resources and assistance if needed and this will be one of the most rewarding experiences in your legal career.
This training is being sponsored by the Brevard County Bar Association, Brevard Family Partnership, and others as well. It will be held at the Holiday Inn Cocoa/Space Coast Convention Center at I-95 and Highway 520.
Registration is now open and you may register by email at [email protected]. Deadline to register is April 19th.
If you have any questions, you may contact Scarlett Davidson or Judge Kelly J. McKibben. We are hoping you will join us and that you will be able to make a difference in a child’s life!
