Zealous Advocacy in CHIPS Cases - Children's Justice Initiative

Minn. Stat. § 260C.163, subd. 3(g) provides that counsel retained by the county to represent parents in CHIPS matters must meet the qualifications established by the Judicial Council.  Judicial Council Policy 604 requires CHIPS parents’ attorneys to: (1) have at least two years of experience representing clients in CHIPS matters, (2) be supervised by a qualified CHIPS parent attorney, or (3) complete 18 hours of core skills training.

 This comprehensive 18-hour core skills course meets the statute and policy requirements and is designed to equip attorneys who represent parents in CHIPS cases with the substantive law and practice skills necessary to be persuasive and effective advocates for their clients.
