July/August 2001Vol. 2, No. 4E-Info on State Court Improvement Efforts

An article in Best Interests, The E-Magazine for Children's Advocates, provides links to States that post information online about their efforts to improve the way courts handle child abuse and neglect cases.

State court improvement efforts are funded through the Federal Family Preservation and Support Act. All but three States (Idaho, South Carolina, and Wyoming) are participating.

Best Interests also provides links to related pages at the American Bar Association Center on Children and the Law website.
