Nina Kohn’s research featured in “Britney Spears’ conservatorship can be both totally legal and quite bad for her. Many are.”

The research of Nina Kohn, the David M. Levy Professor of Law and Faculty Director of Online Education in the College of Law, was cited in the NBC News opinion piece “Britney Spears’ conservatorship can be both totally legal and quite bad for her. Many are.” Kohn, who studies the legalities of conservatorship, testified in 2018 to the Senate Special Committee on Aging. This testimony was cited in the piece, as Kohn stated that unintentional harm can often come from conservatorships, as stripping “a person of her agency can’t help but be abusive, even when fiduciaries are doing their jobs.”
