Elder Law Research Project

Christopher Steadham, Instructor

The Elder Law Research Project, Law 902, is a research course designed to enhance the elder law program at the University of Kansas School of law. Students complete annotated bibliographies about elder law issues that are designed to identify and evaluate key legal and interdisciplinary documents. These bibliographies can serve as pathfinders, or starting points, for attorneys researching particular issues. It is important to note, however, that they are not updated nor should the be considered a comprehensive bibliography or a substitute for legal advice. Each student retains copyright for their bibliography.
