Editors’ Notes

From the Editor in Chief

This issue is the rst of two Family Law Quarterly issues concerning

family law and COVID-19. After a year of considerable hardship, we are

glad to present this issue at a time when vaccinations are well underway

in the United States, and it is possible to consider a post-pandemic

world. Thank you to authors Professor Elizabeth G. Thornburg, retired

Judge Lynda B. Munro, Nicole M. Riel, Professor Robert G. Spector,

and Melissa A. Kucinski and to Issue Editor Samuel Schoonmaker for

their wonderful contributions to this issue and to the rst FLQ virtual

symposium event, Family Law During COVID-19: Virtual Hearings,

Family Court Proceedings, and the Future, which took place on April 8,

2021. Thank you as well to Family Law Section Chair Michael Mosberg

and all members of the FLQ Board of Editors for their vision, leadership,

and support. Thank you also to Managing Editor Lisa V. Comforty; to

ABA Designer Betsy Kulak and proofreader Betsy Blumenthal; and to

ABA Family Law Section Director Cindy Swan, Program Specialist

Danielle Pruger, and Program Associate Ann Mullen. Additionally, thank

you to our readers and symposium attendees for your interest, support, and

feedback in these challenging times.

I would like to reserve the remainder of this space for Aliyah Polner,

who is the inaugural Student Editor in Chief at New York Law School

(NYLS). Congratulations to Aliyah and to all NYLS Editorial Board

members, Senior Editors, and Junior Editors for remarkable work in this

publication’s rst year at NYLS; and thank you to NYLS Dean Anthony

W. Crowell, Associate Dean William LaPiana, and Diane and Arthur

Abbey, for making this work possible.

All my best,

Lisa F. Grumet
