HB 2995: Issue Spotting in the New Domestic Violence Landscape
co-sponsored by the State Bar of Arizona

October 29, 2026, 12:15pm-1:15pm via Zoom

HB 2995 has changed the landscape for domestic violence in Arizona family-law cases.  But knowing what the new law says is only the beginning. What should you be looking for, asking about, developing, and documenting when you have an actual case?

Join a Pima County judge and family-law practitioners for a practical, issue-spotting discussion that goes beyond the statutory language and focuses on how HB 2995 may play out in the courtroom.   

You’ll explore:

• Case assessment: Identifying potential issues early and understanding how the new law may affect case strategy;

• Evidence: What to look for, develop, and present;

• Pleadings & discovery: Issues that may require greater attention under the new law;

• Temporary orders & courtroom strategy: Practical considerations from both sides of the bench; and

• Trial preparation & presentation: Preparing your case with HB 2995 in mind. 

Drawing on the presenters’ Pima County experience and perspectives from both the bench and bar, this program offers practical strategies and takeaways that can be applied by family-law practitioners throughout Arizona.
