👉 Join us on May 28 for this newly added CLE, Guardian ad Litem Standards and Practice Considerations, is a live interactive webinar offering 1.0 General Credit Hour and provides an overview of Ohio Rule of Superintendence 48 and its impact on guardian ad litem (GAL) practice in custody and parental-rights cases. The program examines how courts generally view the Rules of Superintendence as administrative guidance rather than enforceable rights, while emphasizing the important standards Rule 48 establishes for investigations, professionalism, objectivity, and best-interest recommendations. Attendees will also learn the importance of thorough documentation, how courts commonly assess GAL complaints, and practical strategies for navigating GAL responsibilities. The webinar will be presented by Emily P.
