The AAML has as its mission statement, “to provide leadership that promotes the highest degree of professionalism and excellence in the practice of family law.” There are currently more than 1600 AAML fellows in the United States and 37 in Missouri, of which two (Alisse Camazine, as well as Freed) are attorneys at Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal. Freed was named a fellow of the Academy in 2009.
