The Children’s Rights Litigation Committee (CRLC) is thrilled to announce that all five programs in the series "Assuring a Successful Transition" have been posted to the CRLC website where they are available at no cost. This series focused on the role of legal representation in assuring that youth transition successfully from foster care to adulthood. Each program was a rich discussion of these complex issues, and we are grateful to our truly impressive line-up of speakers who each generously shared their significant experience to ensure these programs were practical and informative. We had strong geographic diversity among our speakers to ensure that these programs were meaningful regardless of whether you practice in a jurisdiction with extended foster care, or a jurisdiction that ends foster care at age 18 or somewhere in between. Feedback from attendees was that these programs were incredibly valuable. CRLC is grateful to our co-sponsor, the Juvenile Law Center for assistance in planning.
The programs that can be heard are:Thank you to our newest Silver Members! We truly appreciate your support of NACC and the work we do.
