EVENT DETAIL
Respecting Our Elders: 2008 Panel on Elder Abuse
Tuesday, January 22, 2008 6 pm
Event has expired. Registration for this event is no longer available.
The National Center for State Courts' 2005 report, Future Trends in State Courts, predicts that by the year 2030, 20 percent of the population in the United States will be over 65. As the nation's baby boom population ages, problems relating to the elderly are likely to increase and a portion of these age-related matters will reach the courts. These legal problems, which are already emerging in increasing numbers, include physical and mental abuse, as well as predatory lending, theft of assets, and other opportunistic financial transactions and crimes. The panel will focus on elder abuse from the perspective of the courts, prosecutorial agencies and the community.
