Whether representing children, parents or a child welfare or foster care agency, in private practice, government, public interest practice or as a policy advocate, the issues and the environment in which advocates operate are increasingly complex. PLI's Children's Law Institute will focus on a variety of social and legal issues affecting child welfare and juvenile justice practice. We'll offer SW CE for this.

What You Will Learn
• Legal issues relevant to child welfare and juvenile justice law
• Children in court
• College-bound youth
• Social media and its uses in family court and delinquency proceedings
• Ethical issues that arise when representing a client with diminished capacity

This program will benefit child, parent and family advocates working in the private or public sector in New York State, in law, social work or public policy.
