- Children’s Law Center is a mission-driven organization focused on providing high-quality legal services to children and families in DC. As an organization, we envision a world in which all children have a strong foundation of family, health and education and are free from poverty, trauma, racism and other forms of oppression.
- The Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program represents 400-425 children a year from birth to age 21 who are alleged to have been exposed to abuse and neglect.
- GAL Staff Attorneys collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of attorneys, social workers, investigators and education attorneys to provide zealous, child-centered, trauma-informed, holistic and culturally humble advocacy on behalf of children's best interests.
- In managing those cases, attorneys benefit from multiple internal resources, including a litigation protocol, monthly case rounds, appellate support, close supervision and regular training.
- Children’s Law Center (CLC) endeavors to maintain a collaborative, collegial workplace, and Staff Attorneys assist colleagues on their cases and provide emergency and holiday coverage when possible to assist in maintaining that environment.
