You are invited to join the Parent Attorney Advisory Committee Listserv administered by the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council. The listserv is open solely to attorneys representing parents in juvenile court deprivation and termination of parental rights proceedings. Members will receive emails relating news and information of interest to those in the juvenile defense field. This list will provide a forum for parent attorneys to discuss issues that arise in their daily practice or that have broader policy implications. Members can also post questions or announcements to seek feedback from other parent attorneys.
Please only apply to subscribe to the listserv if you are currently a parent attorney in Georgia’s juvenile courts. To subscribe to the listserv please send an email to: TMcCann@gpdsc.org with “parent attorney listserv” in the subject line.
