About the course

The only program of its kind in the eastern United States, and one of only three programs in the country, Hofstra Law's LLM Program in Family Law furthers Hofstra Law's commitment to developing skilled and compassionate family lawyers who have a thorough grounding in the issues central to the field - divorce, family violence, child custody, abuse, neglect, and support ? as well as knowledge in related areas such as tax, contracts, real estate and partnership law, child psychology and treatment options. The program is organized in conjunction with The Center for Children, Families and the Law, an institute of Hofstra Law dedicated to education, community service and research to benefit children and families involved in the legal system. The Center's training program is one of the most comprehensive child and family curricula offered in the United States and its interdisciplinary approach is designed to better prepare a new generation of legal and mental health professionals to promote appropriate and effective justice in both the juvenile and family court systems. Students in the LLM Program are invited to attend monthly meetings and other special events offered in conjunction with the Center. The program requires completion of 24 credits, which may be taken on a full-time (one year) or part-time (two years or three years) basis. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
