In Recognition of CASA Volunteers Serving in Court
WHEREAS, courts are charged with providing accountability to the
system responsible for protecting abused, abandoned and
neglected children; and
WHEREAS, courts, children’s services agencies and other
governmental agencies cannot fully address the needs of abused,
abandoned and neglected children without complete information
regarding their cases and their lives; and
WHEREAS, citizen volunteers, including the Court Appointed
Special Advocate (CASA) program, have assisted the courts in
many ways in meeting the need for such information….
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Conference of Chief
Justices and the Conference of State Court Administrators:
- Recognize and express appreciation to citizen volunteers who
work with the court to assist our nation’s most at-risk
children, and encourage more citizens to volunteer; and
- In particular recognize and commend the efforts and
contributions of the CASA volunteers in assisting children
before the court.
