The National Elder Law Network was founded in 1995, when it was called the Kansas Elder Law Network, and is one of the first Web-based sources of comprehensive information on elder law and policy. Since that time, NELN has been a reliable source of free information on legal issues affecting seniors. Its content includes annotated research bibliographies authored and updated by law students at the William Mitchell College of Law and the University of Kansas, articles, and other materials aimed at the elderly, their attorneys and advocates, and their caregivers.
NELN’s resources may be linked freely from other websites, and downloaded and distributed subject to the provisions of NELN’s Notice of Copyright, Trademark, and Disclaimer.
NELN’s founder, Kim Dayton, is Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Elder Justice and Policy at William Mitchell College of Law.
NELN would not exist without the hard work of the dozens of law students, librarians, and staff members who have worked on this site over the past thirteen years.
