 ===Judicial case conferences===
-Judicial case conferences (JCCs) are relatively informal, off-the-record, private meetings between the parties, their lawyers and a judge in a courtroom. JCCs must be held in all family law proceedings where the parties can't agree, and, in most cases, they must be held before any interim applications can be heard.

 JCCs can be extraordinarily helpful in helping everyone understand the issues and the dispute. Cases sometimes settle at JCCs, and even if a complete settlement can't be reached, problems about time with the children and support can usually be resolved on a temporary basis. This is a lot less expensive than making an interim application!
 This chapter has more information about JCCs in the section [[Case Conferences in a Family Law Matter]].
