Legal Representation Of Parents In Child Dependency Cases In Virginia, Eric J. Reynolds
Legal Representation Of Parents In Child Dependency Cases In Virginia, Eric J. Reynolds
University of Richmond Law Review
Virginia’s current system of providing court-appointed legal counsel for parents involved in child dependency cases is unsustainable and inadequate, requiring swift and dramatic action from the state government. Inadequate legal representation for parents often leads to poor outcomes for children and a lack of protections for the parents’ due process rights. While attempts to improve the system have been made in recent years, they are often quickly dismissed. The largest hindrances in the current system, this Article suggests, is that court-appointed attorneys for parents are typically underpaid, undertrained, and consequently unable to meaningfully advocate for their client. Due to the …

The Revision Of Virginia's Juvenile Court Law, Lelia Baum Hopper, Frank M. Slayton
The Revision Of Virginia's Juvenile Court Law, Lelia Baum Hopper, Frank M. Slayton
University of Richmond Law Review
Since 1899, the year in which the state of Illinois established a separate statutory framework for addressing the problems of children before the courts, the juvenile justice system has been struggling to establish its identity in the jurisprudence of the United States. The juvenile court laws of this country, including those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, have historically been based on the doctrine of "parens patriae", which is formally defined as the "sovereign power of guardianship over persons under disability."' According to this doctrine, the state, through the court system, can be trusted to fulfill its obligation with respect to …
Children And The Law - Foreword, Birch Bayh

Young people who have been beaten, starved, or deprived of love have accounted for the major portion of …
