Why You Should Attend

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 environment in which advocates operate is increasingly complex.

What You Will Learn

Legal updates in child welfare and juvenile justice law
The role of the social workers in family court and delinquency proceedings
The recent expansion of KinGap
Ethical issues for children’s law practitioners
Unpacking power and privilege in family court practice: race, gender, sexuality, and intersectionality
Who Should Attend

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.
