If you select this concentration—one of six concentrations at Quinnipiac University School of Law—you’ll be exposed to a wide range of family-related law and lawyering skills. This concentration also has a strong dispute-resolution component, as litigation is often not the most effective solution for families in conflict and children at risk.

You’ll learn the law related to families and children and expand your perspective beyond the purely legal to learn more about children and how they develop, family dynamics, the changing roles of families, what it means to be a parent and the issue of same-sex marriage.

You’ll also work closely with other professionals, such as social workers, to learn how to find creative solutions to meet the needs of their future clients.

Our very active Family and Juvenile Law Society sponsors events on topics of interest in this field and provides networking and other career-enrichment opportunities.
