The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), a national organization of over 1,600 family lawyers practicing in every one of the 50 states, adopted a resolution at the group’s annual meeting in November that opposes allowing nonlawyers to perform lawyers’ functions without ensuring that they have adequate education and training, and providing for appropriate oversight and discipline of their activities.
