Highlights and Headlines from The Review
This year was all about building on the overwhelming success of the redesigned look, feel and fresh content of The Review.
Published six times a year, The Review continues to be a wealth of information written by members for members. In 2024, The Review published 107 articles and 166,700 words. To put that into some perspective, that’s more than the first two Harry Potter books combined!
The Review reflects and reinforces the values of Resolution. Whether print or digital, we have helped communicate the work of our members throughout the country, and provided a central touchpoint for our members to share their expertise and thoughts on the latest trends and topics in family justice.
