THE W.W. CARUTH, JR. CHILD ADVOCACY CLINIC

The W.W. Caruth, Jr. Child Advocacy Clinic at Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas, Texas represents abused and neglected children in Dallas County. The clinic is appointed by the Juvenile District Courts to serve as Guardian/Attorney ad litem for children. Student attorneys, under the supervision of the clinic director, are responsible for determining the best interests of the children and representing the children's voice in court.

"The Child Advocacy Clinic gave me invaluable experience that I could not have obtained through a clerkship. Working with children gives you a sense that you are not only problem solving for today, but for generations to come."

- Brandon Kulwicki, Stewart Stimmel LLP, Class of 2003
