NCJFCJ and National CASA: Working Together to Improve Outcomes for Children in Care

 "The decisions judges make are only as good as the information on which the decisions are based. It is absolutely critical that the court has information that is current, complete, accurate and relevant. In my court, CASA volunteers, more than any other participants, provide that kind of information."                            

—Hon. Michael Key, president, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges
