About The Clinic:
The clinic operates as a student legal clinic, accepting students from Georgia law schools and graduate students in fields related to child advocacy. Students in the clinic do not provide direct representation of children but instead focus on research and advocacy projects that affect how Georgia courts and agencies handle child welfare cases. A main facet of the clinic's research-based approach is operating as a statewide resource on child abuse and neglect issues through its web site, ChildWelfare.net.
