Law’s profound impact on children and families encompasses both the private realm of intimate relationships—marriage, divorce, adoption, custody, childrearing—and the public governmental systems that determine access to resources and services—education, health care, immigration, employment, taxation. With a range of courses to choose from and clinics and programs focused on family law, youth advocacy and policy, and LGBTQ+ advocacy, Harvard Law offers students the opportunity to understand the myriad ways the legal system influences people’s daily lives.
