Child Advocacy Practicum hosted "Advocating for our Adolescents: A Look at
the Past, Present & Future of Juvenile Justice Reform in Virginia," a
panel discussion exploring what serves the best interests of the child in the realm of crime and punishment.

In addition to sponsoring more than 20 courses, including the Child Advocacy Practicum, the Center does pro-bono legal work for organizations such as KyampisiChild Care Ministries and hosts an annual GuardianAd Litem CLE.
