Several organizations within the American Bar Association
recently held a National Aging and Law Conference aimed at
tackling issues of justice facing elderly Americans.

3.  During several sessions, speakers addressed upcoming policy
trends shaping the elder justice arena at every level of
government – from local to federal. Specifically, the
Administration for Community Living and the Department of
Justice (DOJ) are overseeing initiatives that will allow elderly
people to maintain more decision-making power in their lives,
while also empowering them to fend off attacks from those
who would seek to exploit them.
Speakers at the bar conference pointed to the DOJ’s Elder
Justice website (www.justice.gov/elderjustice) as a primary
resource for finding information on all aspects of elder abuse –
how to report it, how to litigate against it, and how to educate
elders to protect them from it.
