Liability of a Dozing Driver for a Car Accident G-d Bless the Child: The Dynamics of Custody Decision-Making in Jewish and American Law (Symposium held in February 1997 at Touro Law Center) Dean Howard Glickstein: I would like to welcome everybody here tonight for this program sponsored by our Jewish Law Institute. Tonight's program is made possible by a grant from the Lillie Goldstein Charitable Trust. One of the persons who is a trustee of this Trust is a graduate of our law school, Howard Gruder, Class of 1984. It was through his intercession that we were able to get this grant and sponsor the program tonight. There are few areas of law that are more contentious than family law. The emotional strife associated with divorce and child custody cases is in fact as great as any you will find in. any area of the law. Many lawyers actually avoid the area of family law because of that. And there are some judges who would just as soon not sit on family court if they can avoid it.
