Program areas at The Children's Law Center
The Children's Law Center (CLC) is an interdisciplinary practice that is comprised of trial practice, writing/appellate practice, and reflective advocacy practice. Embedded into our practice is the Reflective Advocacy Practice (RAP) model. This model supports CLC's work by helping our staff and board understand the data collected on behalf of CLC clients to determine if some issues or gaps are not solely addressed by courtroom advocacy. CLC utilizes this knowledge in court and appellate advocacy, as well as publishes and presents on these topics. The Securing Seamless Education Services Project (SSES), The Broken Adoption Project (BAP), are two RAP practices. The SSES project provides education advocacy on behalf of school-aged children with special education service's needs. The Broken Adoption Project focuses on providing advocacy for children who are no longer with their adoptive families. The CLC team is the most important achievement measurement considered. Our numbers reflect the downturn case assignment since the court was only handling cases, they deemed essential and our primary practice was identified as non-essential. In 2021, 5,000 children from throughout the four boroughs were served. This includes 4,161 cases closed, 3,594 intakes completed, and 4,456 court appearances. While an achievement that spanned more than last fiscal year, it is important to note that, as with many other organizations, during COVID-19 shutdowns and capacity restrictions, CLC pivoted away from in-person interactions. CLC staff quickly began to shift to telecommuting and appearing in virtual court. This seamless transition was made possible by CLC's technology plan, which supported the shift of the entire organization to working remotely when the pandemic hit in March 2020. Using Microsoft 365 Office Suite, attorneys can collaborate with stakeholders remotely. This transition has been especially helpful as a long-term capacity enhancement for providing access to clients and families with limited access to transportation.
