“…While the study focused on the experience of family court litigants without an attorney, approximately half of study participants reported some interaction with an attorney in their case-whether through formal representation for a period of time or interactions short of securing representation. 44 As mentioned above, a certain subset of CWC participants concluded they could handle their case on their own, either because they thought their case was straightforward or because they had reached (or thought they could reach) an agreement with the other party. Implied in these findings is the notion that attorneys are perceived to be most helpful and/or add the most value in complicated and/ or contested case types.…”

“…The CWC study found that self-represented litigant participants commonly accessed web-based resources, with almost three-quarters of participants reporting that they sought help online and two-thirds indicating that online resources were helpful. 24 The accompanying CWC recommendations point to virtual and interactive tools, game-like programs and applications, and litigant portals as new solutions for assisting selfrepresented litigants. 25 IAALS, building on both the Summit and CWC projects, is moving forward with developing an online tool for separating and divorcing families.…”

The recommendations contained in “The Family Law Bar: Stewards of the System, Leaders of Change” were generated from discussions among those who are steeped in the practice of family law. Their focus is much broader, however, implicating key family justice system stakeholders beyond family law practitioners. Additionally, the recommendations are intended to benefit family court litigants broadly—not simply those who are represented by a family law attorney. This article leverages findings from the recent IAALS Cases Without Counsel study of self‐representation in family court, illustrating areas of overlap between this study's findings and Family Bar Summit suggestions for family justice system reform.

“…62 In addition, as the Summit report recommends, law school courses must recognize the unique skills that a family law attorney needs, including "preventive care, problem solving, interdisciplinary interactions, community partnerships, listening to and understanding the needs of clients, and ethical dilemmas so often faced by family law attorneys." 63…”

The pressing need to change family law education stems from increased numbers and types of family law matters before the courts, changing legal standards, and the evolution of family law practice. The Family Law Education Reform Project, the Families Matter Report, and the IAALS Family Bar Summit recommend that traditional family law education be supplemented to reflect the importance of a holistic blend of theory and practice. This involves expanding student clinical or experiential programs, incorporating interdisciplinary studies specific to the context of family law, and enhancing continuing legal education opportunities. As one law school example, the University of Baltimore School of Law has implemented many of these recommendations for students and practitioners.
