| Introduction | Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are trained volunteers from the community who speak up for the best interests of children in the courtroom. Children helped by CASA volunteers include those for whom home placement is being determined in the Dependency and Neglect Court filings. Most of the children are victims of abuse and neglect. CASAs are appointed to a case by a judge and the volunteer's goal is to provide a carefully researched background of the child, as well as information based on an investigation of the child's current needs, to help the Court make a sound decision about the child's future. |
