 Law Office Guidebook
Given the specialized nature of child welfare law, it is difficult to provide high-quality legal services without an institutional structure that allows attorneys focus their full attention to the practice. Our Child Welfare Law Office Guidebook is a collection of 33 best practice guidelines intended to move child welfare law offices toward a model practice.
