Professor Ryznar Presents at Notre Dame Faculty Colloquium
09/20/2017
IU McKinney Professor Margaret Ryznar was scheduled to present her paper titled, “A Curious Parental Right,” during the Notre Dame Law School faculty colloquium. The paper is scheduled for publication in the Southern Methodist University Law Review.
According to an abstract of the work, the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to spell out the appropriate level of scrutiny for judicial review of the interference in parents’ care, custody, and control of their children, despite this being considered a fundamental constitutional right. Professor Ryznar plans, in a series of articles on this subject, to build “a new framework for conceptualizing the parental right in a way that explains and justifies using more than one level of scrutiny in a consistent and predictable way.”
Professor Ryznar is an associate professor of law, Dean’s Fellow, and Grimes Fellow, and she received the Trustee’s Teaching Award in 2017. She teaches family law; international and comparative family law; juvenile law; income taxation of individuals, fiduciaries and business associations; and trusts and estates. In addition to contributing to the Huffington Post, she edits the Family Law Prof Blog.
