This program was a refreshing change from the standard, technical CLE course, in that it gave us a new way to view the practice of law.

This presentation challenged some of our long-held beliefs and assumptions and helped demonstrate the need for an expanded understanding of parental defense. I felt that I left this session with a greater desire to work with the parents and see them as partners rather than as just recipients of services.
