Child Advocacy Program

www.law.harvard.edu/programs/about/cap/

The Child Advocacy Program (CAP) educates students about the wide variety of ways to use their legal abilities to work for children. Students are placed with lawyers representing children as advocates, with legal organizations promoting systemic change through impact litigation and/or legislative reform, and with grassroots organizing initiatives; for example, students may work with the state agency mandated to guard children against abuse and neglect, or an organization promoting education reform.
