Dr. Margaret Lee | Author, Handbook of Children in the Legal System

An opportunity to mingle with MCBA Family Law Section colleagues and hear Dr. Margaret Lee speak on her new book, "Handbook of Children in the Legal System."

The event is FREE to current MCBA Family Law Section members and to Mental Health Professionals with a discount code.

Savory appetizers, wine and soft drinks will be served.

Handbook of Children in the Legal System
Featuring contributions from leading mental health and legal experts, chapters start with an overview and history of the juvenile justice system along with discussion of critical developmental areas imperative to consider for work with children, and idiosyncratic issues that arise. The book ends with a case presentation section that illustrates the varied roles and venues in which children appear in the legal system. An extended bibliography provides additional resources and literature to investigate specific topics in greater length.

This accessible and useable guide is designed to appeal to a broad range of people encountering children in the legal system, including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, attorneys, and judges. It will also benefit professions such as law enforcement as well as probation officers, child protective workers, school personnel, and medical personnel.

The event will take place in the outdoor courtyard of Rafael Town Center 999 Fifth St. San Rafael. Signs will be directing attendants.
This is an excellent opportunity for our two fields to connect and get to know one another.
