Aiming to improve the civility and professionalism of family law practice, the Bar's Family Law Section has published "Bounds of Advocacy: Goals for Family Lawyers."
The 38-page booklet has been distributed to all section members as well as all Florida judges. It's also available for free to any Bar member who requests a copy.
"It goes through all of the different things that are peculiar to family law." said section Chair Evan Marks. "It's not a code of ethics so much as it is an aspirational code for family law and to take the Rambo tactics out of family law and replace it ... with making sure people leave a case better than when they came in."
