FAMILY
LAW SECTION Friday, September 17
Family Law for Veterans
Many returning veterans are finding themselves in the throes of family
law issues. This CLE will inform the bar of those issues and provide insight
and education about the unique issues a veteran’s family law case
presents. The Ramsey County Bench is calling upon the bar to render aid
to those who served our country by providing limited pro bono legal assistance.
To that end, the CLE will include Patrick Burns of the Office of Lawyers
Professional Responsibility presenting on the ethics of providing unbundled
legal services to those who cannot afford full representation. Attending
this FREE CLE does not obligate you to volunteer to assist veterans, but
an appeal will be made to join a growing list of attorneys who want to
serve those who served us. Presented by: Johanna P. Clyborne, Founding Partner,
