The Law Association of New Zealand

Family Law Conference 2024: Effective Communication (On Demand)

This On Demand was recorded at the Family Law Conference on 26 September 2024.

Participating effectively in the communication involved in legal settings can be challenging for many children, young people and adults. Legal professionals need to recognise when they need to adapt their communication so information and processes make sense to people. They need to know how to ensure people can have their say. This session will explore practical communication strategies lawyers can use in Family Court work.
