Family Law Concentration

The Family Law Concentration field placement organizations employ an interdisciplinary, team model in which lawyers work with social work professionals, parent advocates, community activists and other professionals to provide comprehensive services to clients. Working within this model, FLC interns will gain first-hand experience with the similarities and differences in the ways that the professions identify and solve problems. Collaboration with other helping professionals will enhance FLC students' counseling and inter-relational skills, and increase their understanding not only of the professional standards, assumptions and skill sets of the legal profession, but those of other helping professions as well. FLC students may also collaborate with other CUNY Law clinics around cross-cutting issues affecting various client groups.
