Volunteer attorneys play a critical role in ensuring that children involved in Domestic Violence Protective Order and high-conflict custody cases have a voice in court and that their best interests remain at the center of legal proceedings. Through CLC’s Custody Advocacy Program (CAP), volunteer attorneys serve as Guardians ad Litem, representing the best interests of children in domestic violence and high-conflict family court cases. In this role, attorneys conduct interviews, review records, collaborate with professionals involved in the child’s life, and provide informed recommendations to the court to help ensure safe, stable outcomes for children. CLC provides training, mentorship, and staff support to ensure volunteer attorneys feel prepared and supported in this meaningful work. The time commitment varies by case, and participation offers attorneys an opportunity to make a direct and lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children in our community. Eligibility: Volunteer attorneys must be currently licensed and in good standing with the North Carolina State Bar. To avoid current or future conflicts in custody matters, attorneys who currently practice family law are not eligible to serve in this role.
