“I can say unequivocally that the Texas family law section and the state bar provide the finest professional tools available for its members anywhere.”

“From the tool kit to the client handbook—not to mention the pro bono seminars and the most generous willingness of the section’s senior members to mentor younger members— I strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of the many advantages of membership in the family law section.”

“There is not one single resource that has been more valuable to my practice than the Family Law Section... In an age where information overload is so pervasive, I know that I can count on the Family Law Section to provide me with concise and specific legal knowledge.”

“The tool kit is worth its weight in gold... It relaxes one when, as you are discussing a law point, you notice the court is opening their own tool kit to verify what you are saying.”

what Section Members Say...

Join the Family Law Section

For only $40 annually, you can join the Family Law Section, cosponsor of outstanding CLE such as

the Advanced Family Law Course, the Marriage Dissolution Institute and New Frontiers in Marital Property Law.

In conjunction with TexasBarBooks, the Section jointly authors perennial favorites the Texas Family Law Practice Manual and the Texas Pattern Jury Charges - Family. The section is dedicated to providing legal services to the indigent.

Attending the Advanced Family Law Course in person can earn you up to 22.5 MCLE hours, including up to 7.75 ethics (depending on

which tracks you go to). Obviously, you can’t attend every concurrent track in person. However, as a registrant you are entitled—at no extra charge—to watch any or all of the Advanced Course archived at TexasBarCLE.com. This means you could watch those other tracks and earn up to an additional 22 MCLE hours, including up to 2.75 ethics.

You may also download audio MP3s of the archived course topics and listen at your convenience, returning to TexasBarCLE.com to claim MCLE credit when you’re done. (The archived course will become available about 6-8 weeks after the live event and be online for about a year. Give us your e-mail address when you preregister and we’ll notify you when the archive is available and how to access it.)

So attend the Advanced Course in person and earn up to 22.5 hours, including up to 7.75 hours. This is the maximum you may claim on your MCLE card for attending the course.

Later, watch or listen to archived topics you missed to bring your total MCLE credit for the Advanced Course up to 44.5 hours, including up to 10.5 ethics. That’s nearly three years’ worth of your MCLE requirement!
