UNL's Center on Children, Families, and the Law was established in 1987 to serve as a home for research and public service on child and family policy issues. The knowledge of child and family issues we gain is used to educate policymakers, scholars, service providers, and the public. Our work serves as the primary basis for local, state, and national policies and has been cited in court rulings, including the U.S. Supreme Court. We help the helpers by providing training, resources, and expertise to helping professionals.
Our Commitment
In 2019, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln celebrated its 150th anniversary and unveiled N2025, a faculty-led strategic plan identifying six ambitious aims driven by the tenet that at Nebraska, every person and every interaction matters.
Our belief that “every person and every interaction matters” continues to guide us each day.
We are committed to the University of Nebraska's new strategic plan, Odyssey to Extraordinary: a transformative journey designed to guide the university from an excellent institution to a truly extraordinary one.
