Standards for Attorneys Representing ChildrenStandards for representing children were initially developed for a New York State Bar Association Law Guardian Study in 1984 (Law Guardians in New York State: A Study of the Legal Representation of Children). Subsequently, the Committee on Children and the Law (formerly known as the Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare Committee) concluded that Bar Association adoption and distribution of the standards would prove beneficial to the bench and bar. The preparation of standards and commentaries represent an important aspect in improving representation, and in assisting the large number of attorneys who appear before the Family Court. Links to the revised and updated standards are listed below: Standards for Attorneys Representing Children in Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings (June 2009) Law Guardian Representation Standards - Volume I (November 1996) Law Guardian Representation Standards - Volume II: Custody Cases, Third Edition (June 2005)
