Cambridge Who's Who Honors Susan Titus Glascoff for her Dedicated Public Advocacy Efforts.

Life-Long Advocate Seeks Presidential Campaign Debate on All Court Accountability, but Emphasizes that Divorce and Family Courts Compound the Issues Harming All of Society

WESTPORT, Conn. -- Susan Titus Glascoff, a 40-year veteran of advocacy in consumer product safety, teacher compensation, health issues, gender equality and legal accountability is being recognized as the 2007-2008 Professional of the Year representing advocacy by Cambridge Who's Who. Glascoff, executive director of the National Coalition for Family Justice's National Advisory Board seeks to address the issues surrounding accountability and ethical behavior of judges, attorneys and other professionals operating in our country's courts, particularly as they relate to cases involving family violence, children's rights and child custody.

Glascoff holds two masters degrees and often monitors family court cases firsthand. Citing the Brooklyn, New York case of Chana Taub as an example of why courts require oversight, Glascoff says, "Taub was supposedly unanimously denied by a jury the right to divorce. Judge Carolyn Demarest refused to allow an expert witness on domestic violence to testify that he determined Chana was a victim of domestic violence. Four of Chana's children, all over the age of 18, spoke of domestic violence committed by the father. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Many cases cry out for the creation and enforcement of accountability standards in family courts." Glascoff worries that good lawyers and judges efforts get impeded.

Glascoff firmly believes that a presidential campaign debate is urgently needed to create demand for genuine court accountability. "Successfully advocating for systemic changes and for legal and judicial reforms requires awareness of the public at large. Unfair courts impoverish entire families most often mothers and children. These courts encourage delays, compounding emotional harm, especially to children. Public debate will bring these problems to the forefront," says Glascoff.
