Innovations in Elder Justice Webinar

For World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (June 15, 2025), I was a panelist on the "Innovations in Elder Justice" webinar sponsored by the American Bar Association's Commission on Law and Aging. My topic was the California Undue Influence Screening Tool, or CUIST, which I helped develop under a grant from the Borchard Center on Law and Aging. I was joined by Mary Jane Ciccarello of the Borchard Center who spoke about other innovations supported by the Borchard Center and its highly regarded legal fellowship program. Carol Sewell, Policy Director for the California Elder Justice Coalition presented on CEJC's A*TEAM, a statewide, multidisciplinary team the focuses exclusively on addressing systemic obstacles to elder abuse.
