RWU Law Symposium: Child Witnesses in Sexual Abuse Cases

The Roger Williams University School of Law hosts this law symposium in which these questions will be raised: How believable are children when they accuse someone of sexually abusing them? Can we tell when children are truthful, lying, or relating false memories implanted by adults? This symposium brings together leading researchers in the field – from law, psychology, public policy, and communications – for what promises to be a lively and important discussion.

Registration is complimentary to law students, undergraduate students, judiciary, Class of 2012 RWU Law alumni, and attorneys from government agencies. Registration costs $75 and includes continental breakfast and six Rhode Island MCLE credits.

Registration is required by February 15. For more information and to register online, visit http://law.rwu.edu/event/symposium-child-witnesses-sexual-abuse-cases.
