I am extremely proud of all that CFCC has accomplished and am deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to CFCC\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>Since CFCC\u2019s beginning, we have been deeply involved in family justice system reform, advocating for unified family courts, the application of therapeutic jurisprudence and the use of an ecological approach in family law matters. We have worked with courts and the legal community nationally and internationally to adopt perspectives and practices that lead to positive outcomes for children and families who come to court.<\/p>\n<p>Through the CFCC Student Fellows Program, an experiential law school course for JD candidates, and the Post-JD Certificate in Family Law, CFCC has created life-changing opportunities for students and family law practitioners to broaden their understanding of families\u2019 problems and to see the power of therapeutic jurisprudence and an ecological perspective in action.<\/p>\n<p>Our Truancy Court Program is an excellent demonstration of CFCC\u2019s and the University of Baltimore\u2019s commitment to community engagement, a valuable contribution to Maryland schools and communities, and a national model in data-driven truancy prevention strategies.<\/p>\n<p>As 2020 unfolds, I invite you to celebrate with us as we share in-depth insights into CFCC\u2019s passion, commitment and work.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Barbara Babb<\/p>\n<p>Founder and Director, Sayra and Neil Meyerhoff Center for Families, Children and the Courts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2020, the\u00a0Sayra and Neil Meyerhoff Center for Families, Children and the Courts (CFCC)\u00a0celebrates two important milestones: the 20th anniversary of the founding of CFCC and the 15th anniversary of the Center\u2019s largest community-based program, the Truancy Court Program.
