Train to be an advocate for abused and neglected children. CLC needs more volunteer attorneys! With 76 MORE kids represented by CLC in 2011 than in 2010, we expect our need for additional volunteer attorneys to keep right on growing in 2012. Due to our increasing case load, CLC is looking for new and better ways to train our volunteers so we can expedite representation to new CLC foster youth clients who are waiting for lawyers. The next session of CLC’s volunteer attorney training will be held June 13, 2012! This new half-day training earns attorneys 3.8 CLE credits and is the perfect fit for anyone’s busy schedule. This is an updated training for new and current volunteer attorneys, judges, county attorneys, public defenders, social workers and other child advocates.
