Description

Changing Lives: Lawyers Fighting for Children Lourdes M Rosado ISBN 9781627225083

Changing Lives: Lawyers Fighting for Children highlights the vital role attorneys play in transforming the lives of our most vulnerable children. Each chapter presents a real-life case of a child in crisis and details the legal strategies employed to secure the best possible outcome.

In exploring these cases, the authors provide a wealth of practical guidance for practitioners, including primers on relevant statutes and case law, investigative tips, advice on working with experts, strategies for incorporating social workers and other child-serving professionals into the legal team, and checklists for motion practice and trial advocacy.

The book addresses a wide range of legal areas affecting children, including:

  • Child welfare (abuse and neglect)

  • Juvenile delinquency

  • Transfer or waiver from adult criminal court

  • Immigration

  • School discipline

  • Special education

  • Mental health

  • Runaway and homeless youth

  • Impact litigation aimed at systemic reform

The authors aim to raise awareness of the critical need for legal representation for children and to inspire and support attorneys advocating on their behalf—whether as full-time child advocates or as private-bar lawyers providing pro bono services.
