Abstract
For the past thirty years, arguments over the proper representation for children have been a focus of continuous academic debate. While the academic debate rages, in the majority of states, attorneys serve in a netherworld of unclear and conflicting standards.
One type of representation in particular focuses the terms of the debate: the representation of an adolescent parent in child welfare proceedings. Who are these child-clients? What are their rights to representation? What are the challenges for those representatives?
This article will advocate for strongly child-directed and child- centered representation of these teen parents.
