Battered Women, Abused Children, and Child Custody, A National Crisis VII:
"Now That We Know, What are We Doing About It?"
National Family Court Watch Project: Using Research to Drive Policy Change

Presenters: 
Paul Hordorf, ESQ and Renee Beeker

The National Family Court Watch Project believes that large‐scale data will reveal national trends and ignite a call for change in the family court system. The project is a conversation springboard and a "quiet observer" to get a sense of what's happening in the family courts, report those findings publicly through a new conduit and work with judges and the public to find solutions.

We will be sharing more information about the project and the increasing involvement from professionals and educators as we expand this effort around the country.
