Free Public Webinar
Friday, February 7, 2025
12 – 1 p.m.

About

In high-conflict family disputes, parents and guardians are at the forefront. But who protects the kids?

Join us for a free virtual discussion with LAA lawyers on the ins and outs of children’s rights when it comes to family legal matters – including why children’s voices matter – and how LAA represents children in high-conflict parenting situations.

In this session, you will:

  • Gain an understanding of how and when a lawyer can represent a child.
  • Learn about the role of counsel when representing a child and how they help ensure their clients’ voices are heard.
  • Discover how involving children in the legal processes can lead to better outcomes.
  • Learn about services offered by Legal Aid Alberta.

In this interactive session, attendees can ask questions of our experienced lawyers, each with years of practice in this field. While we encourage questions, we are unable to provide specific advice on individual cases.

Speakers

  • Andrea Doyle, senior advisory counsel, family & immigration law
  • Colleen Christie, staff lawyer
  • Kevin Livingstone, staff lawyer
