Cosponsored by:
American Psychological Association
American Bar Association -Family Law Section
Come to the Windy City this spring for the Joint Conference of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Bar Association Section of Family Law (ABA-FLS). This APA/ABA-FLS National Conference is organized around three primary areas of focus:
- The status of marriage, separation, divorce, parenting, and custody in the United States today
- Legal and psychological issues relevant to contested custody cases
- Effective legal and psychological interventions for families
The APA and the ABA-FLS have designed this Conference to maximize your opportunity to explore the relationship of psychology to the legal system in the child custody context, and to do so in an educational setting guided by experts from both professions. The 34 sessions planned span three full days and focus on specific interests presented by judges, psychologists, and lawyers. Planned activities include a mock hearing involving expert psychological testimony, followed by responses from judges and the audience; and a number of occasions for networking, such as the April 30th Welcome reception and a ticketed social event at the Chicago Art Institute.
