Join us for an engaging and informative virtual training provided in conjunction with the unique Collaborative Family Law Clinic at Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law. This Collaborative law related training will teach you what the Collaborative Law process has to offer clients and the professionals who assist them. This practice-oriented approach to training will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to provide Collaborative services within your local practice group. This training includes a special section on increasing access to Collaborative process for diverse clients. This course is intended for lawyers, mental health professionals, financial professionals, mediators, paralegals, real estate/ mortgage professionals, and students who would like to work with clients in the Collaborative process.  Continuing education credit is available.  There will be 16 training hours, inclusive of breaks.

Virtual Training: We have received approval from our CLE and CEU providers for this to be a live virtual training.  Although IACP does not approve Collaborative training or Collaborative trainers, we strive to meet IACP standards.

Lawyers: Have you thought about training for your front office staff and paralegals? When those vital members of your practice fully understand the Collaborative process, the client experience is improved, cases proceed more efficiently, and the number of successfully concluded matters increases. Bring those office mates along for a reduced fee per participant during either the course you attend or the next course available if you don’t want everyone out of the office at once. Contact us for registration details.

Registration fees are refundable up to 21 days before the training minus any credit card processing fees.  Within 21 days of the training another participant can be substituted up to 3 days before the training.

Additional information regarding the training will be emailed to paid participants right after registration and again right before the class.  Access to the training materials via our Learning Management System, LearnDash, will be provided approximately one week before the first training dates.  Please let us know if you do not receive the email confirmation so we can sort that out well before the first training dates.  Please make sure to check your junk folder before contacting us.

*Barry Collaborative Clinic Cases began in the Fall Semester of 2014 and continue each semester thereafter.  Each case will be completed in two or three Full Interdisciplinary Team Meeting sessions conducted on two or three Friday mornings at Barry School of Law.  Additional hours will be required for telephone contact with clients and professional team members.  Law school students will be assigned to each case.

Continuing Education

Continuing education credit must be regularly renewed so the specific hours approved and the specialty hours approved may differ from class to class. Our training is approved by the below entities only. We do not apply for continuing education for attendees to obtain credit for their preferred entity but you may self-report. An extensive outline is provided to assist you with that process.

The program has been approved by The Florida Bar for CLE for lawyers (16 total hours which includes 1 ethics hour and .5 technology hour).  Lawyers from out of state will need to determine if CLE can be applied.  Program is approved for 14.0 CLE credit including 1.25 Ethics CLE credit by NALA for paralegals. We cannot guarantee approval for lawyers in other states or countries. We do not complete CLE applications for other geographic areas.

Continuing education for psychologists has been approved through the Florida Psychological Association (FPA) for 15 hours.  Approval is for 12 hours of general continuing education credits, 2 hours of professional ethics and Florida laws and rules, and 1 hour of domestic violence.  There is an additional $25.00 fee for CE for non-FPA members. The Florida Psychological Association is approved by Florida Department of Health, Board of Psychology and Board of School Psychology to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.
