So I just found out that my wife's uncle is a founder of a major firm in Chicago. I did not include him on the section of the app to a certain school which asked for family who attended the institution. Should I email the admissions office asking them to add it to my app? Does he even count as family as far as that goes?

When they say family, they mean direct family (i.e. parents, siblings, or grandparents). I have an aunt who attended the school, and was told by a few schools that this wasn't "family" in the narrow way they are defining it (though most schools allowed it). But your wife's uncle isn't your "family".

He may not count for purposes of law school applications, but may help when seeking a job.
