In spite of such improvements, the quality of representation reported to and observed by our citizen review board members remains less than adequate, at best, and possibly fraudulent at times.
The FCRB is highly concerned with the fact that in Michigan, children and youth are rarely encouraged to participate in scheduled court hearings, despite the fact that these children are identified as parties to the case. This is unfortunate, as their present and future safety and well-being is addressed at these hearings, and the children often know best what has taken place in their own families and whether the system is functioning well for them or not. Therefore, the need to provide competent and dedicated legal representation is essential, as the LGAL is the one entrusted with the responsibility of objectively representing the child’s views and best interests before the court.
