Judge Constance Cohen |
Judge Constance Cohen, Juvenile Court Judge for the Fifth Judicial District of Iowa since 1994, focuses on the significant role the judge plays in convening stakeholders and providing leadership in joint disciplinary efforts to improve and reform the system. The presentation emphasizes the need for grassroots participation on the part of all players if promising initiatives to achieve positive outcomes for children and families are to succeed. In her current appointment, Judge Cohen adjudicates cases involving child abuse and neglect, termination of parental rights, adoptions, juvenile delinquency, and involuntary hospitalization commitments. She also serves as a frequent lecturer at training events for attorneys, judges, social workers, foster parents, and Court Appointed Special Advocates. |
