BRIEF OF GENERATION JUSTICE AS AMICUS CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERS
STATEMENT OF INTEREST: Generation Justice (“Gen Justice”) works in legislatures and courtrooms to protect abused children. Gen Justice has been instrumental in shepherding various reforms to the states’ child welfare systems. Through its children’s law clinic, Gen Justice provides legal assistance to over 200 children each year, including no cost representation and legal training regarding the dependency process and the rights of families involved in foster care.
This case is of special importance to Gen Justice, as it implicates a core mission of the organization—to strengthen children’s constitutionally-protected interests in forming nurturing familial relationships.
