Welcome to UBLaw Conversations, a production of University at Buffalo Law School and the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy. Today is February 17, 2009, and I'm James Milles, Professor of Law.

Our guest today is Professor Susan V. Mangold of the University at Buffalo Law School. Professor Mangold has been conducting a large-scale research project looking at the wide diversity of funding strategies for child welfare programs at the state and local level, and how funding affects policies and outcomes. Professor Mangold is interviewed here by UB Law Professor Rick Su.

Thank you for joining us today. The theme music is "Brazilian Nights" by Jack Jezzro, and is available through the Podsafe Music Network. Please join us again next time for another conversation from University at Buffalo Law School.
