Parent Attorney Conference
This conference provides training for attorneys representing parents in abuse, neglect, and dependency and termination of parental rights proceedings. The inaugural Parent Attorney Conference in 2007 was a nuts and bolts training on abuse, neglect, and dependency cases and the 2008 conference focused on the representation of the chemically dependent client. Topics included the neurobiology of addiction, treatment protocols and options, special ethical issues with the chemically dependent client, attachment issues, and working toward reunification with a recovering client.
