Older Adults Funded Papers

In January 2009, the LCO issued a Call for Papers related to its project on the Law as it Affects Older Adults. The Call closed on January 19, 2009. The LCO has funded the following three research projects:

1. The Advocacy Centre for the Elderly (ACE): Design of Effective Mechanisms for Enforcing the Rights of Persons Living in Institutional Settings

2. Margaret Hall: Legal Responses To Elder Abuse And Legal Decision-Making Frameworks

3. Charmaine Spencer: Ageism, Age Discrimination and the Use Of Age-Based Distinctions In Housing/Tenancy Law And Access To Health Care

A number of research papers have also been completed by staff and students on particular issues related to the law and older adults.
