Total Credits: 1.0 Self Study
Representing a parent in an abuse and neglect case in Juvenile Court may seem the same as representing any other client, however, there are many nuisances and acronyms that come along with Juvenile Court. Knowing the procedural differences, getting to know who the “team” consists of and understanding the important timelines are crucial before taking on your first case. This presentation will break down the basics of an abuse and neglect case from protective custody to termination of jurisdiction and how to adequately prepare a parent client for the entire process.
Speaker: Trisha E. McCulloch, The Center for Family Law, St. Charles
