The Capacity of Children to Participate In Decisions Affecting Their Welfare The Child Advocacy Law Clinic (CALC) at the University of Michigan Law School is pleased to announce the inaugural Johnson Children and the Law Workshop. The workshop will bring together speakers and students from a variety of disciplines including law, psychology and public policy to pursue questions that continue to perplex the law and policymakers and that are currently ripe for major policy reform. This year the workshop will focus on the capacity of children to participate in decisions affecting their welfare. We invite you to participate in the workshop by attending the following presentations. The presentations will take place from 1:30 to 3:30 in Room 218 Hutchins Hall at the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor. Should you have any questions about the workshop, please contact the CALC office at 734-763-5000. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming presentation.

4-5:30 p.m., Weill Hall, Annenberg Auditorium, Room 1120. Kristin Seefeldt of the Ford School and the National Poverty Center, will speak from her book. A reception and booksigning will follow the lecture. The stories she reports paint a portrait of the lives of mothers who, though working primarily in the low-wage labor market, are dealing with issues that are common to working mothers: balancing career goals with family demands, finding dignity and meaning in work, and finding time to participate in their childrens' lives. Seefeldt explores policy options that could increase the financial well-being of single mothers as well as support the role that motherhood plays in their lives. Sponsored by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and the National Poverty Center
