COURT-APPOINTED ATTORNEYS ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR CHILD CLIENTS

The Maryland House of Delegates passed legislation (HB 700) guaranteeing that court-appointed attorneys for children will be fully accountable to their child clients.  Physically and sexually abused children need and deserve attorneys who will vigorously and effectively advocate for their interests.  Under HB 700, as amended, children will finally have the voice in court that they so desperately need.
