This Just In...
In a
special, free issue of Family Court Review (FCR),
this interdisciplinary journal, and the Association of Family and Conciliation
Courts (AFCC) pay special tribute to the ABA Youth at Risk Initiative.
According to FCR Editor Andrew Schepard, "I know FCR readers
will appreciate the interdisciplinary emphasis of the authors…. They
will also appreciate the blend of research, policy, and practice that
the articles include. They will find their understanding of how courts,
lawyers, and mental health, social, and educational systems can better
respond to the needs of youth enhanced by what they learn here. The
overall message is clear: the challenges for our youth are great, as
is our need to work together to meet them. The ABA can be a strong partner
in our overall effort." [More]
