GUARDIAN AD LITEMS: RECENT REPORTS FROM THE OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH!

REPORTS OF THE OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH

ON GUARDIAN AD LITEMS

NOTE:

Cost

If you obtain a GAL through the program funded by the State the cost of a GAL is considerably lower based on the information in this report.  However, there is a needs based requirement for this program.

 

Accountability

Also, it appears that GALs provided by the State can be held more accountable through the office that hires them.  If you hire a private GAL, the only person you can complain to is the Judge and he or she is not likely to listen to you.
