The Dakota County Law Library currently offers one monthly Continuing Legal Education session via Microsoft Teams. The Teams presentation will require you to pre-register. If you are interested in attending the session, please contact the law library at least 24 hours ahead of the program. We cannot guarantee that you will receive a response to your email if it is received after that time frame.
If you are interested in attending future CLEs, please indicate this as well and your name will be placed on a list to receive monthly notifications about upcoming CLEs.
If you only contact the law library asking for information to attend a specific CLE, you will not be placed on the email notification list.
Upcoming session
OurFamilyWizard
Nov. 20, noon-1 p.m.
Presentation overview
The OurFamilyWizard app (OFW) is included in parenting agreements as a way to reduce litigation and improve family outcomes. Learn how OFW can simplify co-parenting communication, prevent coercive control and streamline the work of practitioners. This training will also include our new updates and information regarding our new Calls feature.
This presentation will advise family law practitioners of communication technology ordered by the court in high-conflict custody and visitation cases. Practitioners will learn how to stay informed of co-parent communication using online tools. Each attendee will receive examples of agreements and court orders currently used to specify parent and practitioner use of OFW as well as a full demonstration of the available features.
