The National Jurist has published its Family Law Honor Roll. From the article:
Family law is about far more than divorce and custody disputes. Attorneys often advocate for children, survivors of domestic violence, foster families and others navigating some of life’s most difficult moments. Success in the field requires legal knowledge, courtroom skills and the ability to work alongside judges, social workers, educators and other professionals. The schools recognized here prepare students through clinics, simulations and interdisciplinary experiences that combine hands-on advocacy with a commitment to expanding access to justice.
The following law schools earned a place on our Family Law Honor Roll, recognized for the strength of their programs. Following the list, you’ll find the latest developments and news from family law programs at these various law schools.
