Best Practices for Attorneys Representing Children
Olivia recently joined a a small group of professionals from the worlds of family law and mental health services (including court-ordered therapies) to discuss the process of becoming a Child Representative/Guardian At Litem.
Topics covered during the two-hour panel included:
- What do you wish you had known about interviewing children when you first began working as a GAL?
- What do you wish other/more GALs knew about communicating with children involved in high-conflict family law cases?
- How to get information that you can trust as accurate from children when working as a GAL?
This moderated panel discussion took place in November 2020, and is still available for CLE credit through Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS).
