Topic:
"Challenges in Representing Children"
Panel Discussion addressing challenges faced by child's counsel, including:

1. Which role to take when it is not specified in a court order;
2. How to approach a file where the child does not want to be involved in the process and/or does not want to share their views
and preferences;
3. How to identify and address conflicts that arise when representing a sibling group;
4. How to deal with difficult parents, parties, and counsel; and
5. How to ensure limited hours on a file are being used most efficiently.
If time permits, the Panel will be available to answer questions from attendees.
