SUMMARY:Counsel for Kids: Victories\, Trends\, and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Children in foster care are separated from their families and subject to life-altering decisions made by judges.  A specially trained lawyer is necessary to protect their legal rights and ensure their voices are heard.  In 13 states children are not appointed lawyers to represent them in court\, leaving them to navigate the complexities of the child protection process alone. Expanding access to legal counsel for children and youth in care is trending among state legislatures. Still\, advocates must work to overcome challenges raised related to attorney shortages\, limited funding\, and youth capacity to participate in their representation.   \n  \nIn this session\, NACC’s Policy Counsel Natalece Washington will highlight Counsel for Kids advocacy victories\, trends\, and challenges and explore recent state legislative activity that would expand the right to counsel\, common elements of successful state policy campaigns\, and policymaker’s frequently asked questions. Bipartisan Policy Center Fellow\, Rob Geen\, will discuss bipartisan collaboration as a key strategy to successful policy development.  Geen will also review our nation’s history of broad bipartisan consensus on major child protection system policy changes and share the latest on the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Child Welfare Initiative.    \n  \nPresenters:  \nNatalece Washington\, NACC Policy Counsel \nRob Geen\, Bipartisan Policy Center Fellow \n  \nCalifornia (60-minute hour)  \nThis participatory activity has been accredited by the State Bar of California for a maximum of 1.5 hours of General credit.
