Nevada Fails in Providing Legal Representation to Children
The R-J today reports Nevada’s failing grade in legal representation of abused and neglected children. A report by First Star, a Washington-based child advocacy group, issued the failing grade to Nevada and fourteen other states that do not require representation for children in dependency and neglect proceedings.
Clark County Legal Services makes valiant efforts to provide such representation. Attorneys interested in acting pro bono to represent these children can do so through CCLS’s Children’s Attorney Project.
