It was one of those March days…
[w]hen the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. – Charles Dickens
As I write this message, spring is in the March air, flowers are blooming, all things seem possible and in reach. Your Family Law News team decided to mark one of my favorite seasons with a beautiful cover page that is reminiscent of springtime, with the strong tree trunk and branches abundant, a reminder that family law is for the strong, with the practice just as diverse as these colors and as vast as the branches of this tree.
