Family Law Concentration

The complex interviewing and counseling work, as well as the in and out of court advocacy prepares graduates for practice in many settings. Students will be well-prepared for general family law practices and for child welfare, domestic violence, and poverty law practices. The lawyering skills cultivated in FLC will also prepare students for other practice areas including child advocacy, criminal defense, and policy advocacy. Graduates can expect to practice in a variety of practice settings including work in solo and small firms, legal services, child welfare organizations, battered women's and immigrants' rights organizations, policy and reform organizations and government offices.
