About the Program
Contested Conservatorship proceedings can take a heavy toll on all involved. Determining the best course for a client is a challenging task and calls upon lawyers to weigh multiple strategic, legal and ethical questions. This program will review these questions and offer perspectives from the bench and bar. But most importantly, the program is designed to be dialogue between and among the panel and the participants to ensure that the issues that are discussed and the perspectives that are shared are relevant to the participants' practices.
