Description

Child welfare law is complex and ever-changing, and the practice of representing children, parents, and agencies in dependency practice requires extensive knowledge and skill. Child Welfare Law and Practice, more commonly known as the Red Book, is the flagship legal treatise in this field. This fundamental, comprehensive publication is an essential day-to-day resource for attorneys and judges who practice child welfare law. In addition to being a crucial practice reference and training manual, Child Welfare Law and Practice also serves as the foundational source and study guide for the Child Welfare Law Specialist (CWLS) certification exam. The Fourth Edition includes new editors, new contributors, and new chapters on LGBTQ+ youth, racial justice, multidisciplinary advocacy, preventative legal representation, crossover youth, child trafficking, and more.
