A Family Law Education Network event, co-hosted by JustFund.

Anne-Marie Rice

Keynote Speaker – Family Law Stream

Dispute Resolutionist | Speaker | Trainer | Thinker

Anne-Marie has ticked all the “lawyer” boxes – Accredited Specialist, Mediator, Arbitrator, FDRP, Collaborative Lawyer, prac-ademic, Committee Member, Volunteer, Mentor.

She has been an ICL, run a successful family law practice, won awards, and given countless technical, practical, and motivational presentations to lawyers and non-lawyers for over two decades.

She is a member of the Attorney General’s Family Law Council and, in a career spanning over 25 years, she has been unrelenting and unapologetic in her work to challenge the adversarial approach to family law, including from within the Court itself.

Thinking Deeply and Differently

In a profession steeped in adversarial traditions, maintaining a true resolution focus is both a challenge and a choice. In this session, Anne-Marie Rice delves into what it really takes—intellectually, physically, and spiritually—to hold steady in the face of conflict, heartache, and systemic pressures.
 
Attendees will discover why adopting a problem-solving approach demands more stamina than litigation, how to harness their inherent commitment to resolution, and why the things you focus on will ultimately shape the outcomes you achieve. This is a call to practise with intention, expand the possibilities for your clients, and lead with clarity and purpose.
