The American Bar Association’s Commission on Domestic and Sexual Violence will offer a free four-day training in August to improve the litigation skills of attorneys who represent survivors of domestic violence in contested custody cases. The Advanced Trial Skills Institute will be held virtually on Aug. 9, 11, 16 and 18. Registration is open until July 28. Funding for the program comes from the commission and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women. Attorneys who work at legal services agencies or nonprofit organizations are given priority admission. Read more about the program in the ABA Journal or start the application process.
