This course examines ethical issues that arise in the process of representing children.& We explore the ethical constraints of each model of child representation (i.e., guardian ad litem, attorney for child, attorney for situation) as well as ethical issues that arise when an attorney’s representation of adults or agencies also affects children.& The instructors present introductory material on professional responsibility, legal issues affecting children, and child development.& The students build from the introductory material to make class presentations.& The course is highly reflective and interactive.  Because student participation is crucial, students are expected to attend and actively participate in each session.& Students write papers; there is no final examination.
