Standards for Attorneys Representing Children
Standards for Attorneys Representing Children
Standards 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.
