American Academy of Matrimonial LawyersAmerican Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) is the leader in Family Law continuing education, publications, networking and training. Since 1962 AAML has operated as a nonprofit association of Family Lawyers who have experience and concentrate in all issues related to marriage, divorce, child custody and visitation, annulment, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, matters affecting unmarried cohabitants, business valuation and property distribution, alimony, and support. The nearly 1500 Family Lawyers who have earned the distinction of AAML Fellowship, practice throughout the United States and are also a member of one of the Academy’s 33 state-wide Chapters. By demonstrating the highest standards of matrimonial practice, Fellows of the Academy have set the standard for the matrimonial bar. They have helped improve the quality of family law practice throughout the country for attorneys and litigants alike. Our success is achieved through AAML Members and Chapters. We value the shared commitment to improving the lives of Family Lawyers and the clients they serve. AAML provides all Fellows the opportunity to unparalleled virtual and in-person professional continuing education, seminars, recognition through networking opportunities, referral opportunities and best in class Family Law Journal and Publications. AAML Northern California ChapterMost states have local AAML Chapters, and Fellows participate with their local Chapters and the AAML national organization. The AAML Northern California Chapter was founded in San Francisco in the early 1960s and is one of the most active Chapters in the country. Fellows of the Chapter practice in the northern half of the State of California, which includes all counties between Fresno and the Oregon border. Our Chapter provides continuing legal education to hundreds of lawyers each year. Through our Annual Spring Symposium and Biennial Trial Practicum, our Chapter provides the highest quality education for California's lawyers. The Chapter funds its charitable giving with the registration fees from these events. The Chapter also meets regularly and holds educational events for its Fellows, drafts and sponsors amicus briefs to the US Supreme Court and other appellate courts, and sponsors, and sponsors a round table for Northern California judges to share ideas and policies.
