  • Family Innocence Benefit
    The Family Defense Center’s Family Innocence Benefit Honoring: Ellen Domph, Deborah Tuerkheimer, Louis Fogel, and the Goodman Theatre Sunday, September 21, 2014 To Protect Children, Defend Families Welcome to the Family Innocence Benefit for the Family Defense Center! The Family Defense Center has so much to celebrate this year, and we thank you for joining us in the celebration. This year’s honorees demonstrate the variety of avenues through which we can work to advance a single cause: protecting children by defending families. Our honorees have made contributions in the realms of direct legal representation and advocacy, legal scholarship, Board and committee involvement, pro bono representation, and theatre. Through these diverse avenues, each honoree has notably joined our effort to promote child welfare by protecting and defending families. Our 2014 Family Defender, Attorney Ellen Domph, exemplifies the highest ideals of the legal profession. Her tireless, passionate and highly skilled defense of families has made it possible for loving parents to protect their right to raise their own children without the unjust intervention of the State. In focusing on family innocence this year, Ms. Domph’s exemplary work as lead trial counsel in the celebrated In re: Yohan K. case led to a landmark appellate victory, one that we celebrate tonight. Our 2014 Family Defense Scholar, Professor Deborah Tuerkheimer, is an outstanding example of the difference legal scholarship can make in giving voice to the marginalized. As Prof. Tuerkheimer discovered the widespread injustice and error in so many “Shaken Baby Syndrome” prosecutions, her passion for truth inspired her to dig deeper, culminating in the publication of her book, Flawed Convictions: Shaken Baby Syndrome and the Inertia of Justice.

It’s an all-American tale about a son of immigrants, a child of the Depression, a young man who was part of the wave of men and women who served their country in World War II and then returned home to help create the most powerful economy the world has ever known. My father’s calling was a line of work that quenched his insatiable thirst for news and knowledge; it was a relatively new profession, with limitless potential for a bright, industrious communicator with a dream to start his own business: the burgeoning field of agency public relations.
