Guardian ad Litem Event

What: Guardian ad Litem talk featuring Judy Peterson
When: Wednesday during lunch, 12:15 to 1:00.
Where: Law School Room 65
Lunch provided: Yes.

Criminal Justice League invites law students and interested faculty to join us over lunch in Room 65 on February 2 for an informational talk about Ramsey County's Guardian ad Litem volunteering program. Judy Peterson, the manager of Ramsey County's program, will be our featured speaker.

An ad Litem guardian is a court-appointed objective adult who represents the independent best interests of a child whose welfare is a matter of a court's concern. The talk will encompass the basic functions of ad Litem guardians and provide information for law students who are interested in serving in this important role. Lunch will be provided and having this on your resume couldn't hurt either!

For more information about the role of a Guardian ad Litem in general, or Ramsey County's program specifically, please go to this site. We hope to see you this Wednesday over lunch!
