Sources:
(1) "The re-assessment found CASA representation to be strong in project sites. However, stakeholders across project sites reported that children “should be represented by both a CASA and an attorney.” No cases in the Washoe County file review sample had appointed an attorney to represent the child, although the majority of cases (77%; n=46 of 60) had appointed a CASA. In the Clark County sample of cases reviewed, 13% (n=10 of 75) had appointed an attorney for the child, while a CASA was appointed in 73% of cases (n=55 of 75). Neither CASA nor children’s attorneys were appointed on behalf of children in the Lyon County cases studied". - Nevada Court Improvement Project Re-Assessment Final Report Research Conducted and Report Authored by: Permanency Planning for Children Department National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Re-Assessment Sponsored and Funded By: Nevada Court Improvement Project Report Submitted: June 2005
