PURPLE Cluster : Research into Practice
Informal and Online
Research-into-Practice is an informal forum of family law practitioners. We gather online in a similar format to a book-club, with the intention of discussing two or three articles around a particular theme. The Research into Practice events have been created to answer a question. How can we practitioners integrate recent research into our practice? It is designed for family law professionals who seek to develop their practice to integrate the thoughts of researchers and authors.
