The Law
Law and Order for the Baby Boomer Generation
The Baby Boomers grew up in a period of post-war prosperity in the United States, which instilled a sense of stability and confidence in governmental institutions. However, this trust was often tested by various events throughout the 1960s to 1980s, including the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the Watergate scandal. Each of these events had significant legal implications and exposed Boomers to the complexities of law enforcement and justice. Advancements in Technology and the rise of television also played pivotal roles in shaping the Boomers’ perspectives. The televised coverage of major events allowed Boomers to witness law enforcement actions and court proceedings firsthand, influencing their perceptions and expectations of transparency and fairness in the legal system.
As Baby Boomers approach their golden years, there are several legal considerations that come to the forefront. From estate planning to health care directives, the laws and regulations can often seem complex and overwhelming. In this area of the site, our experts break down the key legal aspects that Baby Boomers need to be aware of. Topics include wills and trusts, Retirement benefits, Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, Healthcare, Caregiving, Legacy and long-term care planning. Our Contributors will also touch on the topic of elder law, a specialized field that focuses on the legal issues that affect older adults.
Understanding these legal essentials can ensure Baby Boomers are well-prepared for the future, safeguarding their rights and interests. Whether you are a Baby Boomer yourself or caring for one, it is important for you to understand the ongoing legal challenges we face as we are Aging.

I viewed about 15 minutes of each of the infamous debates. I don't take them too seriously because as we know, the way politicians get elected is not to tell us what they intend to do, but to tell us what they think we want to hear. So a political campaign gives us lots of shouting and negative ads -- "He's a dictator!" "She's a liar!" "He's a racist!" "She's stupid!" -- but we don't get any serious discussion about important issues. So we read the tea leaves of invective and negative ads, and try to figure out what they really mean to do, and place our bet in the for…

This is our second panel or round table discussion on The Cool Grandpa Podcast. I like to call these activities Cracker Barrels. I think I like that term because it is what we used in Scouts and because it is a fun nostalgic term for people getting together informally and sharing important and sometimes not-so-important information. We have four wonderful guests joining me to give their thoughts on how fathers and fathers-in-law can support moms. After all, the old adage that if mom isn't happy, no one is happy is more true than we might like to admit. This event's participants are Dr. Ker…
