Child welfare agencies need to present strong, compelling cases in court to ensure safety and permanence for children. Yet all too often, agency legal representation is not at the level it could be. This book helps child welfare agency attorney offices focus on necessary changes, such as hiring practices, evaluation processes, standards of practice, and efficient use of resources, to improve the level of representation. It highlights agency attorney offices around the country using creative and innovative methods to provide strong representation, and includes appendices containing such practical information as useful websites and forms.
