Cardozo received an A+ in family law from preLaw Magazine for its classes, programs and clinics involving child welfare and families. Lawyers practicing in this area have a direct impact on all aspects of marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, domestic violence, reproductive rights, and other matters regarding family relationships. Our program in bioethics and law draws upon medicine, law, philosophy, public health, public policy and theology to address problems and solve dilemmas that arise in the clinical, research or political arena.
