‘Representing Dual Wards’ topic of online program
The Youth Defense Project of the State Appellate Defender Office and the Michigan Appellate Assigned Counsel System will present “Representing Dual Wards” online Thursday, Nov. 17, beginning at noon via Zoom.
Organizers say this training will help practitioners understand how to advocate for a client in a delinquency when the attorney is also the LGAL.
Speakers will be Terina Carte and Karen Bunker, attorneys at the Child Advocacy Team in Flint, where they serve as appointed counsel for youth in both juvenile delinquency and child welfare cases.
Combined, they have more than 50 years of legal experience and have exclusively represented children since 2004. Both Carte and Bunker are active members of the Children’s Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan, with Carte serving as a council member since 2017 and section chair since 2022.
Over the past 18 years, Carte and Bunker have each represented numerous children who were dual wards.
