This issue, Teaching About Race and Family Law, focuses on different ways to promote racial justice through educating current and future members of the legal profession. The articles are described in more detail in a separate introduction. Here I would just like to briefly thank and congratulate our authors and FLQ Board of Editors member Professor Jessica Dixon Weaver for their significant work and contributions to this issue.
