| Abstract | Professor Jennifer Baum presents a few of the learning challenges for the “student attorneys” as they develop the lawyer-ing skills required of child-advocates in child protective proceedings. These complicated cases require students to be aware of the many contextual factors influencing each case as well as their own cultural biases. Professor Baum presents Respect for the Child, with its companion virtues of simplicity, empathy and compassion, as fundamental to authentic Vincentian advocacy. |
