Family Section
The Family Law Section is an active section which holds regular meetings one time each month, presenting topics and seminars of interest to the local Family Law Bar.

Our programs and seminars usually offer MCLE credit for a nominal charge.

Meeting times vary each month and notice is sent out to the active membership.


Our by-laws state that the purpose of the Family Law Section is to:

  • Assist the membership in providing the best possible legal representation to their clients who are parties to any family law action or dispute.
  • Provide a unified voice for the advocacy of family law positions as determined by the Board of Governors in the areas including, but not limited to, local and statewide rules of court, public information and speaker's bureau, political/legislative action, and file AMICUS briefs on cases of local interest or impact.
  • Provide low cost MCLE training sessions and other educational programs for the members of the Kern County Bar Association.

Our membership is dedicated to improving the quality of practice and educating family law practitioners and their staff.
