Through a partnership with Southwestern Law School, CADRE is pleased to announce that it will host Southwestern Law School's Children's Rights Clinic at our South LA office once a month on Friday evenings, from January through April 2008. Plans are underway to continue this service in Fall 2008.
The Children's Rights Clinic provdes representation to low-income children in Los Angeles County who would not otherwise be able to obtain legal representation in the areas of school discipline, special education, and other education related issues. The clinic is staffed by law students who represent clients under the supervision of Professor Julie Waterstone.
The Children's Rights Clinic focuses on representing chidlren in school discipline proceedings and children with disabilities in special education proceedings who have discipline related problems, as well as working with community groups to advocate for better and more equitable educational opportunities for children.
