Participation in alternative dispute resolution processes is now mandated by Alberta courts for family law matters. In light of such requirements, and increasing desires by parties to participate in ADR, it is imperative that family law lawyers understand their responsibilities and obligations. Explore the standard of care in collaborative processes, whether parties can be compelled into arbitration, whether counsel can exert pressure on clients to mediate or settle, whether agreements reached in mediation are binding, the standard of appeal for arbitration, and ethical obligations to screen for family violence.
This on-demand program was originally presented as an in-person program titled Family Law 25 on May 27, 2025. Total running time is 57 minutes.
