About the Program

When a family law trial is appealed, the most important document in the appellate court’s decision-making is the trial court’s statement of decision. Even experienced trial lawyers and bench officers get tangled in the web known as California Rule of Court 3.1590. Without a statement of decision – or one that adequately addresses the court’s factual findings and legal conclusions – the appellate court will construe all factual conflicts in favor of the judgment or order. This talk takes us through each subdivision of the rule and provides a roadmap of how best to navigate Rule 3.1590.

This program is presented by the Family Law section chaired by April Zonnis and Daniel Bemel. The Family Law section is sponsored by White, Zuckerman, Warsavsky, Luna & Hunt. Find out more about the sections at www.bhba.org.
