Posted 10 Mar 2022 by IAFL
The International Academy of Family Lawyers has established an IAFL Institute of Further Learning for lawyers who have practiced for approximately 6-7 years and want to elevate their knowledge and expand the reach of their practices. The curriculum includes topics universally related to the practice of family law and topics intended to enable the practitioner to identify issues involving cross-border legal questions and/or applicable international Conventions.
The purpose of the Institute is to mentor, educate, and introduce attorneys to issues of international practice while providing a network of similarly situated and interested peers from different jurisdictions and cultures. The discussions in each session will invite participating lawyers to contribute questions and perspectives from their different legal and cultural environments. Participants will be encouraged to speak freely within an environment of mutually agreed privacy.
The IAFL' s goal is to facilitate and deliver our mission, “to improve the practice of law and the administration of justice in the area of divorce and family law throughout the world” by enabling growth as attorneys and facilitate continuing peer relationships, consultation, and mentoring beyond completion of the program. The IAFL also hopes to enhance interest in cross-border practices and interest in the IAFL.
