The Families and Children Model Code on
Domestic and Family Violence is the title of a groundbreaking and useful
document recently released by the National Council and Juvenile and Family Court
Judges. It has already been the topic of statewide and national trainings and is
now the topic of this month’s CLE. The presenters will introduce participants to
some of the ten sections, including those in the definition of domestic abuse
(including coercive control), ADR, and the best interests of the child. In
addition, possible implications within MN as well as opportunities for
legislative advocacy will be explored.
This CLE is approved for credit through January 26,
2026.
