Quality representation for children is one of NITA’s top priorities. Unfortunately, each year thousands of children find themselves involved in some type of legal action (juvenile delinquency, abuse and neglect, divorce, and custody disputes, among others).

Throughout the program you will work with a faculty made up of nationally recognized experts in children’s issues including psychologists, social workers, and mediators while going through a series of learning-by-doing workshops covering:

• Opening statements/closing arguments

• Direct/cross examinations of fact, expert and child witnesses

• Impeachment

• Use of exhibits

• Preparing clients for mediation

• Evidentiary foundations

A portion of the program will also be dedicated to ethical matters when counseling child and adolescent clients.
