Adjunct Professor Jacobs is a trained Mediator, Litigator, and Collaborative Law Practitioner, with experience resolving a variety of domestic relations issues through negotiation, mediation, and litigation. She has litigated cases in the trial courts of the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, and has argued before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals and the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland. Despite her litigation experience, her passion is conflict resolution through mediation and alternative dispute resolution, mainly in family situations.

Before practicing family law, Ms. Jacobs practiced as a civil trial lawyer in the areas of civil rights and negligence, representing the estates of developmentally disabled wards of the District of Columbia who died as a result of abuse and neglect in the group home system. Upon graduating from American University, Washington College of Law, Ms. Jacobs served as a Motions Clerk for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. She is fluent in Farsi.
