Summary:

Child Rights and Remedies provides a comprehensive examination of how United States law and policy affects the lives and futures of children. This law school text covers a broad spectrum of major cases, statutes, and relevant empirical evidence that illustrate how children are faring in light of how our legal and political systems function."Professor Robert C. Fellmeth, the master of child rights and remedies and the long-time maestro of child advocacy, presents his Magnum Opus to inform our intellects, challenge our consciences and galvanize our motivation on behalf of children who will either inherit our derelictions or our beneficent foresight. This book works as a very comprehensive recruiter for students and other citizens who wish to help build a society and culture that nurtures the young into fulfilling their life's possibilities." -- Ralph Nader"Professor Jessica Heldman is a distinguished expert in children's law and policy with years of experience working with advocacy organizations and state child welfare and juvenile justice systems to improve the treatment of children. Alongside Robert Fellmeth, Jessica Heldman provides a comprehensive treatise on children's rights, including children as individuals, as a class, and as a political voice for reform. Professor Heldman's scholarship and leadership will help advance children's rights for years to come. This book is an essential read for all children's advocates."--Kim Dvorchak, JD, Executive Director, National Association of Counsel for Children
