Resources for Families

Virginia Law Families & Partners

Virginia Law Families & Partners serves as an outlet to bring together law students and their partners to foster friendships and provide engaging programs. VLFP is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and fun-filled space for families and partnerships to meet, interact and share fellowship. The society supports and promotes the interests of students facing the challenges of attending law school while raising children. Issues of specific concern include child care, medical resources, and family activities or community events, with particular emphasis on low-cost options to help those on a tight budget. VLFP also supports the Law School admissions staff by encouraging individuals with families and partners to apply for admission and attend the Law School, and by serving as an information resource for potential attendees.
