Protecting the family, improving the practice.

Charitable Activities

The Northern California Chapter of AAML puts on its popular Symposium each year featuring high-end and sophisticated presentations to educate and inspire family law attorneys of all levels of expertise. We also provide an annual Trial Practicum, in which our fellows and experts from all over Northern California donate their time to teach young attorneys trial skills and effective, ethical family law practice.

Substantially all of the proceeds from these activities are traditionally donated to local charities who submit applications to our Charitable Donations committee. Since 2004, the chapter has donated in excess of $70,000 to local worthy causes. In 2011 the following grants, totaling $30,000, were awarded:

  • Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County Teen Parents Project
  • CPI – Kids Turn Scholarships, Sonoma County
  • Center for Youth Development Through Law
  • COPE- Impact Families, Napa County
  • Family and Childrens Law Center, Marin County
  • Harmony at Home – What About the Children Program, Monterey County
  • Kids Turn, San Francisco
  • Life Works, Sonoma County
  • Overcoming Barriers
