Family Law Advocacy Ethics and Procedure: On-demand Short Course

Family law advocacy demands more than legal knowledge—it requires confidence, integrity, and strategic execution. Excellence in this field starts with a deep commitment to ethics, professionalism, and procedural mastery.

This advanced on-demand short course is part of our Digital Certificate in Family Law Advocacy program. Enroll in this short course as a standalone, or go all in with the full digital certificate for a deeper, more comprehensive learning journey.

This particular short course is delivered over 10 hours at your own pace. You’ll sharpen your ability to navigate court proceedings, uphold ethical obligations, and advocate effectively through real case studies and best-practice insights.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Apply professional conduct rules to real-world advocacy scenarios.
  • Navigate court etiquette and electronic hearings with confidence.
  • Address complex procedural and ethical challenges in family law matters.
  • Integrate case study insights to strengthen your advocacy while upholding professional integrity.

With special contributions from subject matter expert: Kathryn Kearly, Family Law Accredited Specialist

Mastering advocacy takes more than just one course. The full Digital Certificate in Family Law Advocacy course provides in-depth training in both oral and written advocacy, plus an assessment component to earn your Digital Certificate.
