Since the organizations founding in 1962, AAML Presidents have worked tirelessly to further the goals and mission of the Academy. Each of the Past Presidents represented some of the very best in the profession of Family Law. An area that has always remained constant is the investment of time, energy and commitment that it takes to fulfill this vital leadership role. AAML is thankful for the gifts of service to our Past Presidents – many of whom remain active with AAML and continue to serve the Family Law community today.
