Elrod Speaks at Women's Attorneys Conference
Lynn Ward, Class of 1990, head of the Family Law Department at Morris, Laing, et al., coordinated a three hour program at the Women's Attorneys Conference in Lindsborg, Kansas, on July 17, 2004. Distinguished Professor Linda Elrod, Director
of the Children and Family Law Center, teamed up with Dr. Janet Johnston to discuss high conflict custody cases.
Dr. Johnston, coauthor of In The Name of the Child and author of numerous articles on alienation and abduction, talked about "High Conflict Parents and New Approaches to Dealing with Them." Dr. Johnston also discussed "Profiles of Parents Who Abduct Their Children." Professor Elrod then discussed "Parental Kidnapping, the UCCJEA, and the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction."
Lynn Ward and her husband Dale '90 have recently endowed a scholarship for the Children and Family Law Center.
