FOREWORD

Welcome to CJER's online course on Dividing Property in family court. This is the sixth and final course in a training series on family law topics. Because it is always available online, it is especially useful to judicial officers who have been recently assigned to family court. It provides more experienced judges with a convenient reference for related statutes, rules, and forms.

As with CJER publications, this online course is a group effort. The list of credits below is eloquent testimony to the numbers of people and many hours that went into its preparation.

But development of an online course does not end here. Feedback from those who take the course is critical to its evolution and the design of future courses. We expect to offer more online judicial education courses in the areas of juvenile delinquency, criminal proceedings, and civil topics such as unlawful detainer. By submitting your comments after taking this course, you will become part of the development team and help refine the model for future courses.

Thanks in advance for taking time to contribute to the development of CJER's judicial education online course library.
