As clichéd as it sounds, this is probably true for most of us. For me, I have found a number of outlets that fulfill this need; most recently, representing children pro bono through the Children’s Attorney Project (CAP). Before I continue, understand I am not a family law attorney, nor do I pretend to have mastered the rules and practices of representing children. For that, contact Steven Hiltz or my most helpful mentor Janice Wolf at Clark County Legal Services. If, however, you have a passion for taking a look at our community’s most helpless forced into “the system” by the circumstances and decisions of their addicted or otherwise absent parents, and you can commit to advocate for them strongly, you can represent children.
