Family Law

The study of family law focuses on state statutes and case law relating to families, parents and children, marriage, marital assets, separation agreements, divorce, and custody and visitation rights. 

Many of our graduates interested in family law transition to our innovative and highly successful Justice Bridge incubator, which has offices in Boston and New Bedford. Justice Bridge offers recent graduates the opportunity to provide quality legal representation to clients who cannot afford traditional market rates, while supporting graduates’ goal of developing solo, small firm, or public interest practices.

Examples of courses in this area include: domestic violence law, elder law, estate planning, family law, family law practice, and juvenile law.
