Professor Abrams selected to present at Tel Aviv School of Law’s junior scholar workshop

Professor Jamie Abrams has been selected to present at Tel Aviv University School of Law’s Third Annual Junior Scholar Workshop on Legal Theory, which is Oct. 26-27 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The workshop will explore applied theory across a variety of disciplines. Professor Abrams will apply gender theory and social movement theory to reveal threats facing the feminist domestic violence movement.

Prior to this workshop, Professor Abrams will speak at the Centre for Law and Society at Lancaster University Law School’s symposium titled, “From Scold’s to Trolls; Social and Legal Responses to Visible and Audible Women.” It will be held Sept. 15 in Lancaster, England.

Professor Abrams has also kept busy this summer, presenting "Reframing the Socratic Method" at the AALS mid-year meeting to a national audience of family law professors. She described how the Socratic method of law teaching can be reframed in a client-based, research-based, and skills-based lens to better sensitize law students to the realities of law practice.

Last week, she also appeared on WDRB discussing the need for more youth awareness of Safe Haven laws providing anonymous and legal ways to surrender newborn infants safely to hospitals, police, or fire departments.
