Your Honor: I am a general practitioner with an emphasis in chancery practice and a member of the state legislature. I would love an opportunity to meet with you to discuss the direction of family/chancery practice and to recieve recommendations from you on how we can preclude the extinction of the general practitioner (i.e. even joint complaint / ID divorces’ procedure is different from county to county).
