The Dakota County Law Library currently offers one monthly Continuing Legal Education session via Microsoft Teams. The Teams presentation will require you to pre-register. If you are interested in attending the session, please contact the law library at least 24 hours ahead of the program. We cannot guarantee that you will receive a response to your email if it is received after that time frame.
If you are interested in attending future CLEs, please indicate this as well and your name will be placed on a list to receive monthly notifications about upcoming CLEs.
If you only contact the law library asking for information to attend a specific CLE, you will not be placed on the email notification list.
Upcoming session
The Intersection of Technology, Domestic Violence and Family Law
Thursday, June 18 , noon-1 p.m.
This interactive workshop will explore the implications of technology in domestic violence and family court cases. Professionals will learn how batterers use phone technology, social networking and GPS to circumvent injunctions for protection, supervised visitation and child custody. Legal and mental health practitioners will explore how victims of domestic violence can overcome communication issues using mobile and online communication tools, such as the OurFamilyWizard website, designed specifically for high conflict parents.
