Professor Jennifer Drobac has agreed to serve on the workshop committee for the Harry Krause Emerging Family Law Scholars Workshop, which will take place in July 2024.

The workshop is for emerging scholars to hone and sharpen their ideas in family law and related subjects. It is named for Professor Harry Krause, who was a member of the faculty at the University of Illinois College of Law.

Professor Drobac is a widely known expert in family law as well as sexual harassment law. She also participates in the Indiana University Campus Insights Project with the Associated Press. She is frequently consulted for her expertise regarding civil rights and sexual harassment and assault by media sources throughout the world. She is an author of the textbook, Sexual Harassment Law: History, Cases and Practice, recently published by Carolina Academic Press. She co-authored the book with Professor Carrie N. Baker of Smith College and Professor Rigel C. Oliveri of the University of Missouri School of Law.  Professor Drobac is at work on her next book, The Myth of Consent, which is under contract with Cambridge University Press. That work will explore the neuroscience of adult decision making and how the science should influence law reform, particularly the law of consent. She is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law.
