Education: Educating Adoption Attorneys

Putting Research into Action: Educating Adoption Attorneys

The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute – nationally recognized for its ethics-based policy and education initiatives – is now putting research into practice by offering continuing legal education courses for adoption attorneys. The Adoption Institute already addresses legal and policy issues affecting adoption through legal advocacy in our legislative system and courts and by issuing Policy Perspective briefs and papers. Now, by bringing together years of research and the knowledge and practice of experienced adoption attorneys, we are providing ethics-based continuing legal education courses to inform and educate attorneys as they navigate through the complicated legal issues of interstate, intrastate and international adoption practice.
