Dr. Bonnie Olsen, PhD, led a Department of Justice-funded national initiative to develop a tool for judges to consider less restrictive alternatives to guardianship and evaluate the risk of elder abuse in guardianship cases. Advised by a panel of experts, focus groups, and a pilot study of judges nationwide, the project team developed and disseminated the Judicial Guardianship Evaluation Worksheet to courts nationwide.
