report: Legal Representation in Child Dependency Cases


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Dear Virginia practitioners:

This legislative session, there will be some initiatives to improve the state of the legal representation provided to parents of children in child dependency cases.?

These initiatives will be based on the recommendations from the workgroup created by Senator John Edwards SB396, which issued a report on November 1 of this year.

You can read the workgroup report here:?
"SB 396 Workgroup Studying Legal Representation in Child Dependency Cases"?
?

Please reply to this email if you have questions or thoughts about the workgroup recommendations. Updates as the legislation becomes available online will be posted here as well.

Also: if you are interested in what the Office of the Children's Ombudsman has been investigating and what its findings have been, view this report here:? ?
