Court Reports 

A large part of the CASA role involves providing the court and child support team with written information to inform their work on the case. You will find information, guidelines, and tips for writing a Court Report on the left.

Please be sure to SAVE a copy of whatever form you need on your desktop before you begin working in it, and remember to SAVE your work after you’ve finished!

Court Appearance Instructions

  • Please remember proper video and court etiquette (Recording is not permitted, mute yourself, be present when your case is called)
  • Have your camera on (private and confidential setting, professional appearance) and include your first and last name and “CASA”

You will receive detailed instructions prior to the hearing from your Advocate Supervisor.

Juvenile justice hearings are being held in person.
