Such assignments may include the drafting of pre-marital agreements, settlement agreements, declarations in support of applications for orders (child custody, support, restraining orders, etc.), and focused briefs on Family Law-related topics. Upon completion of this course, students will have gained practical and relevant experience transferrable to the practice of Family Law. Student writing will be critiqued and discussed anonymously in class.
