dc.description.abstractAllegations of abuse or neglect of children by their parents or legal custodians lead to dependency proceedings in juvenile court. The decisions made in such proceedings have a tremendous impact on the lives of children. Although the child’s welfare is the subject of the court’s adjudication, the child’s due process rights are unclear, as neither Congress nor the Supreme Court has established a right to counsel or any other due process right for the child. When life, liberty, and family integrity are at stake, however, constitutional due process protections should apply. Such protections should include the right to be heard, which for a child, can only be effectuated by the right to counsel.en_US
