The Family Law and Rules Committee is responsible for reviewing all proposed legislation, Court Rules, Rules of Evidence and Administrative Orders that may have an impact on the Family Court Judges across the State. They will make recommendations to the Executive Committee to support, oppose or modify the matters they review. Members are often called upon to serve on various work groups with DHS and SCAO. They may also draft proposals for new Court Rules or Statutes if they feel they are needed.
