Thousands of children in Clark County are cared for by someone other than their parents due to their parents’ death, incarceration, or unsuitability. These children, who are outside the supervision of Children’s Protective Services, have largely gone without advocacy, despite facing many of the same issues as children in the dependency system.
Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada's Pro Bono Project invites volunteer attorneys to this seminar for attorneys who would like to represent children in guardianship. You will learn the role of the children’s attorney and an overview of the court proceedings and processes involved in guardianship cases for both guardianships of the person and estate.
Minor Guardianship Attorney Breanna Fritchley will present the course online via GoTo Meeting. Pro bono attorneys who refer others to this CLE can receive a free Starbucks gift card.
Nevada-licensed or emeritus-certified attorneys can earn 1.0 General Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit by attending in-person or online. To attend, you must have an active pro bono case or take on a new case. Please visit our website for a full listing of available cases.
