Lawyers for Children America is a national non-profit organization that recruits, trains and supports pro bono attorneys who represent abused and neglected children and youth. Our CLE seminar is taught by experienced child welfare attorneys, psychologists, other professionals, and former foster youth, and is designed to introduce the participant to the child welfare system. The training will focus on the legal system for abused and neglected children, the laws governing child dependency proceedings, child development, and the ethical issues involved in representing children.
