IRTA - CASA Partnership Announced by Supreme Court
Chief Justice and Governor
IRTA has partnered
with CASA, the Court-Appointed Special Advocate
program, to recruit volunteers to serve in the
program, which helps children who have been abused
or neglected in the legal system. CASA volunteers
represent the child's interests in court
proceedings. The Indiana partnership is serving as a
national model for emulation in other states. TOP
