In addition, he has contributed greatly to the continuing education of the family law community at both the local and state levels. He has been an instructor at the CEB Family Law Institute teaching and writing on subjects such as Interstate Child Custody issues and the negotiation and preparation of Marital Settlement Agreements. He has served as the editor of the State Bar’s Family Law News and as a contributing editor for Bancroft Whitney’s California Civil Practice-Family Law Litigation.
