Family Law Day of Court Clinic Volunteer Training
Presented by Volunteer Legal Services Corporation and the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Self-Help & Dispute Resolution Services
At the Family Law Day of Court Clinic (FLDOC), volunteers take referrals from the bench to assist self-represented litigants on the Request for Order (RFO) calendar. Volunteers prepare Findings and Order After Hearing and Reissuances, provide information and referrals to local resources, and explain court procedures such as service of process. The goal is for litigants to leave court with signed, enforceable orders in hand. Volunteers work closely with judicial officers and court staff at each clinic.
This training will cover how to prepare Findings and Order After Hearing for common legal issues faced by litigants representing themselves in family law cases, including child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support. We will also discuss reissuances and service of process, issues that come up frequently for pro per litigants on the RFO calendar.
Volunteer Commitment:
This training is offered for free in exchange for commitment to volunteer at six Family Law Day of Court sessions in the next year. Training is open to law school graduates and paralegals with family law experience. Experience in family law is not required for attorney volunteers.
