Today we went out to the juvenile district court in Gretna again. I got to sit in on multiple cases regarding child abuse and whether they should stay with current foster parents or be returned to either their mother or another family member. These court sessions go on for a pretty long time because they need to assess the well being of the child and if all of their needs are being met. This took up most of the day, so after lunch I accompanied Mr. George to a meeting at the Family Justice Center. The meeting lasted 2 hours and they mostly just talked about notaries and the most efficient way to serve people restraining orders. I couldn't take any pictures today because phones are not allowed in the court house, so here's a picture of me driving to the Pro Bono Office downtown.
