Unique Case of Stepparent Owing Child Support to Stepchildren

In Pennsylvania, generally, a stepparent is not liable for child support of his or her stepchildren.

Overcoming Obstacles to Diversity Through Conscientiousness

For decades, the U.S. legal profession has focused on diversity, in part, by shedding light on the acute lack of diversity in the profession. The profession as a whole has been self-critical, publicly admitting to the lack of diversity and emphasizing the importance of making the profession more inclusive. Despite the diversity dialogue, diverse attorneys continue to be grossly underrepresented.
