New Program Aims to Enhance Child Advocacy through Rural Nebraska

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Children's Justice Clinic has served Lancaster County's vulnerable child population in the justice system since 2017. Now, thanks to new funding, the program's efforts will expand to work on increasing quality child advocacy in rural communities across Nebraska.

The new endeavor, dubbed the Children's Justice Attorney Education Program, will focus on training attorneys in the specifics of child and family advocacy.
