Mission

The mission of the Children’s Law Center is to protect the interest of indigent children in family court and to advocate policies, which advance their well-being and best interest. Through its programs and services the Children’s Law Center strives to create safe, stable environments for children whose parents are in chronic conflict. To achieve these goals the Children’s Law Center manages several programs including:

• providing legal advocates to children through representation,
• staffing a legal help-line that gives information and referrals on topics related to family law and children’s rights,
• low-cost mediation services and parent education,
• training and support for lawyers who represent children, and
• advocating for positive systemic change regarding the rights and treatment of children.
