The New Family Justice Rules – Navigating The Way Forward

The new Family Justice Rules will completely overhaul the landscape of family practice in Singapore. How would these changes affect the way family lawyers run their cases? Would family lawyers need to change the way they advise their clients and the manner in which they prepare for Court? How would the new rules impact outcomes for the clients, their families and their children? To answer these questions and more, this year’s Family Conference will bring together members of the Judiciary and the Bar for an in-depth analysis and discussion on the new Rules and its impact on the key areas of family practice. For the first time, the Conference will also feature Masterclass sessions conducted by senior members of the Bar who will share invaluable know-how on oral and written advocacy in family practice.

Through both virtual and physical sessions, the Conference aims for both speakers and participants to delve deep into the proposed new Rules and share practice knowledge in order to better prepare for the changes ahead.

This is the third and last instalment of the “Keeping Up!” Series organised by the Family Law Practice Committee, together with the Probate Practice Committee and the Muslim Law Practice Committee, in anticipation of the impending roll-out of the new Family Justice Rules this year.
