As a notable new addition to the law school, the Child Advocacy
Clinic enthusiastically opened its doors in the fall of 2005. This
one-semester clinic provides students with a unique opportunity to
take primary responsibility for representation of child-clients in
a multidisciplinary setting. Students appear in Queens County
Family Court as Law Guardians for children who have been brought
before the court because of child abuse and neglect proceedings,
providing an array of in-depth representation from arraignment
through final resolution of the case.
