The School of Law will host a workshop titled “The Effects of Domestic Violence on Children” from 8:30 a.m.-noon July 12 in the Bryan Cave Moot Courtroom of Anheuser-Busch Hall.
The workshop, presented by the Missouri Baptist Children’s Home (MBCH) Professional Development Institute, will feature an overview of the effects of violence on children and a panel discussion on judges’ courtroom experiences regarding domestic violence and its impact on children.
After the panel, workshop participants will discuss the effectiveness of current tactics aimed at ending domestic violence, as well as future remedies for the problem.
Kimberly Jade Norwood, J.D., professor of law and associate professor of African & African American Studies in Arts & Sciences, and Daniel Cuneo, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, will serve as course instructors.
Norwood teaches in the law school’s Civil Justice Clinic, which focuses on helping victims of domestic violence.
Cuneo is a founder of Clinical Systems, a program set up to evaluate and treat sexual offenders, and is a co-author of “The Fitness Game,” an educational tool designed to teach concepts necessary for an individual to become fit to stand trial. “The Fitness Game” is used in 15 states and the federal system.
The MBCH Professional Development Institute was incorporated in 1997 to facilitate and promote educational activities and service programs related to providing care for children and providing preventive and redemptive services for children, parents and families.
Workshop tuition is $105, and advance registration is preferred but not required. Continuing education credits are available.
