Pursuing a career in Family Law?

Then, if possible, pay a visit to the schools themselves and set up a meeting with a family law professor. You might also contact the admissions office to see if they can put you in touch with family law teachers, students, and alumni through phone or email so you can ask them questions and learn more about being a family lawyer firsthand.

Many lawyers are open to courteous requests for informal informational interviews, which can be both educational and motivating. (You might be able to connect with someone through a family member or acquaintance.)

The UAE Bar Association provides resources for working lawyers as well as students and others interested in the subject. Conferences and webinars, periodicals, email updates on recent family law cases, and online access to archival cases are among its services. You’ll discover that family law has numerous challenges and benefits as you review information from these and other sources. Perhaps you will be a part of this multi-dimensional realm in the future as well.
