Children, Families and the Law 

The Baldy program on Children, Families and the Law is a community of colleagues interested in the relationship between children, families and the legal institutions with which they interact. The Program has a long and fruitful relationship with professional members of the community engaged with children and families, and the Program provides useful opportunities for interaction and feedback on research.

Recently, Program participants have conducted evaluations of domestic violence courts, research in delinquency and youth courts, and coordination with scholars from throughout the University to host the Urban Girls Conference. The Program draws from participants in law, psychology, sociology, social work and other areas examining the relationship between the "private family" and the "public law."
