35th National Child Welfare Law Conference

2012: Family Matters: Advocacy for All Parties in the Child’s Best Interests

August 14–16, 2012 in Chicago, IL

This conference was designed primarily for attorneys who practice child welfare, juvenile, and family law. NACC members and attendees dedicate most of their practice to the representation of children and youth, parents, or the state in juvenile dependency, delinquency, or family law cases. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of this work, professionals from the fields of medicine, mental health, social work, probation, law enforcement, and education also belong to NACC, attend our conferences, and serve as faculty.
