Elder Abuse Curriculum for State Judicial Educators

The National Center for State Courts partnered with Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse and Neglect on this project and we are grateful for the support provided by the Retirement Research Foundation of Chicago.

The curriculum is broken into three compact modules.

• Module 1 discusses the physiology of aging
• Module 2 offers information on how to identify elder abuse and neglect
• Module 3 focuses on crafting court responses

Given the limited amount of training time available for the judiciary, we developed the program so that each module can be delivered separately, and the entire curriculum can be presented in 3-1/2 hours. 

While the curriculum is designed for state judicial educators, we invite everyone to use the information that may be relevant to your audience.  We simply ask that you let us know if you use any part of the curriculum. Visit the Center for Elders and the Courts website to download the materials and access handy tools including a U.S. map with links to pertinent state laws.
