| Extreme Family Law Makeover X: What's Love Got To Do With It? Feb. 24 |
Register Online HERE
The Family Law Section’s Extreme Family Law Makeover seminar will celebrate its 10th anniversary on February 24, 2012 at The University of the Incarnate Word Sky Room. It was started in 2003 by family law attorneys Karen Marvel and Richard Loza. For its first two years the seminar had a different name but became known as the Extreme Family Law Makeover seminar in 2005.
The seminar was held at The Bright Shawl from 2003 to 2009. Due to its popularity as the premier annual seminar by San Antonio family law attorneys for San Antonio family law attorneys, the seminar outgrew that location. It was held at The Pearl Stable in 2010 and 2011. This year will be its first year at the Sky Room. The Sky Room provides a spacious comfortable conference space that should accommodate the seminar for years to come. About 250 people registered for last year’s seminar, and more are expected this year. Attorneys from neighboring counties and from as far away as Corpus Christi make it a point to attend this valuable event.
This year’s seminar provides 7.5 hours of CLE, including 2.0 hours of ethics, of practical information for attorneys. The luncheon speaker is Joe Dittmar, a survivor of the 9-11 tragedy. His story is sure to be inspiring. You can register online for this very affordable seminar by going to http://bit.ly/extremefam2012. Seminar brochures are available at the Presiding Civil District Court. You can also contact the seminar directors, Kim Pettit at kpettit@satx.rr.com, Amber Liddell Alwais at amber@momnd.com, or Mark Thompson at markthompsonlaw@aol.com for more information.
