ON-DEMAND WEBINAR FOR FAMILY LAW PROFESSIONALS
Reading Demeanor in Masked Proceedings
On-Demand Webinar
While it is unclear which Covid-related shifts within the practice of family law will continue indefinitely, it does seem certain that in-person legal proceedings are likely to include litigants, attorneys, and witnesses wearing masks for quite some time to come.
The prospect of these individuals wearing masks in the courtroom raises concerns for many within the legal community and the judiciary, as facial expressions have long seemed to be central to determinations of credibility.
Join OurFamilyWizard for an expert panel discussion exploring the implications of mask-wearing on family law proceedings.
