I've finally had some time today to start to build up some of the links that are either particularly inspiring or particularly informative to dependency defenders. Rather than devote full posts to them -- yet -- I need to go ahead and memorialize some of what I've been reading for some time and will eventually incorporate into the dependencydefense.com site.
1. Mary Callahan of Maine. Google her, and there is a lot there. Here is one article of hers, presented in html for ease of viewing. A word document for download is also available if you search for it..
2. The NCCPR Texas report. Pages 63 and 64 are the important part, and track perfectly with findings from other states on the same issue (of what resources, requirements, and compensation are needed for dependency defense attorneys to best protect children)
3. The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges site. Their report for download as a pdf repeats the themes I've seen over and over again about the social utility of allocating enough resources for professional dependency defense.
4. The NCCPR's latest report on child removal rates in Florida. Mixes some good news with cautions that, to me, underscore the theme of DependencyDefense.com, that good defense lawyers actually save public money in the big picture and contribute to child safety. Also gives indirect praise to Alan Abramowitz, a man I like.
