National Family Court Watch Project

05/06/2026

The National Family Court Watch Project (NFCWP) is currently seeking individuals interested in supporting our mission through board service.

For more than 20 years, NFCWP has worked to advance understanding of how family courts function in practice through independent courtroom observation, education, and research. Using a standardized observational methodology, we gather and analyze data to identify patterns, practices, and areas for continued discussion and reform.

We are especially interested in individuals with experience or interest in:
• Nonprofit leadership and governance
• Research and higher education
• Law, policy, or court administration
• Communications and public outreach
• Fundraising and organizational development
• Domestic violence, child advocacy, or access to justice issues

Board members play an important role in helping strengthen the organization’s long-term sustainability, visibility, and impact.
