"My experiences with the Child Advocacy Clinic have been very
rewarding. Through the Child Advocacy Clinic I have been afforded
the opportunity to work with clients, draft pleadings, and gain
more courtroom experience. This Clinic has been a service to
the St. John's Community and the community at large. I am
proud to have been part of its first class!"
Charessa L. Glover-Thomas, Fall 2005
"The Child Advocacy Clinic has left me with a new appreciation
and respect for the practice of family law. The practical
experience I have attained has been of immeasurable value, and the
contacts I have made will surely help me past law school. This is a
great place for those with public service in mind."
Mike Kelly, Fall 2005
“The Clinic provided me with invaluable experience in the area
of child advocacy. It not only gave me the opportunity to
learn the substantive law applicable to child abuse and neglect
proceedings in Family Court but also provided me with numerous
opportunities to apply the law to real life scenarios.
Through meeting with clients, appearing in court and preparing for
trial, I learned what it means to become an excellent law guardian
and how to best serve the needs of the children involved in these
proceedings.”
Stephanie Tabone, Fall 2005
