The Family Law Quarterly is a scholarly journal published by the ABA Section of Family Law. It focuses on important and emerging family law issues. The Quarterly has been edited by Washburn Law students since 1992.
In addition to three "regular" issues each year, the Quarterly publishes an annual review of the changes in family law throughout the fifty states. Review of this type is a tremendous undertaking and requires soliciting reporters in each state to summarize changes in case and statutory law. When a reporter fails to deliver, the responsibility falls to the student editors. However, the effort is well worth it, as this issue is arguably the most anticipated issue that the Quarterly publishes.
As with any publication, the Quarterly is only as good as its staff. The student editors are the heart and soul of the Quarterly. It is through their hard work that the Quarterly has remained at Washburn and has become one of the most cited speciality journals in the United States.
