Attorney.org
Attorney.org recently contacted me about doing an article on LK and the LK Help Desk. They have been running a campaign to highlight different organizations and associations from around the country in an effort to raise awareness about different causes. Falling in line with this campaign, Attorney.org will be profiling LK, the LK Help Desk, and CPS in general. Some of their recent profiles include The Insitute for Justice, Madre, The National Women's Law Center, The Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, FAMM, and The Center for Community Change to name a few. If you aren't familiar with Attorney.org, they have attorney related information, legal news, tips on how to find the proper attorney, as well as information on different categories of attorneys (criminal attorneys, malpractice attorneys, divorce attorneys, etc.). It's a great resource for attorneys and your average person alike, so don't forget to check it out tomorrow to see the feature on LK.

Court system adversarial by its nature

A court proceeding to determine the future of a child under the care of the Children's Aid Society is antagonistic.
It pits parents against each other and against the agency that wants to help. It sets up a judge, who has limited knowledge of the family situation, as the final decider of the child's fate.
