Student Voices
"The Child Advocacy Clinic gave me a tremendous opportunity to expand my substantive knowledge of juvenile justice issues, from assisting with briefs in individual cases to advocating for sentencing reform in the state legislature. The clinic helped shape my own views of what type of public interest lawyering I wanted to engage in and I still carry those insights into my current work on behalf of low-income and marginalized youth."

Mission
The Child Advocacy Program (CAP) at Harvard Law School is committed to advancing children’s interests through facilitating productive interaction between academia and the world of policy and practice, and through training generations of students to contribute in their future careers to law reform and social change. We are committed to a broad vision of advocacy, working both in and outside of the courtroom, as well as across disciplinary lines.
Student Voices
"The Child Advocacy Program was the reason I chose to attend HLS, and it’s the reason that I get to do the work that I do every day. CAP provided the support, encouragement, and skill-building I needed to become an effective advocate for kids in the juvenile justice system. I’m so grateful to everyone who has made CAP into the program that it is today."

"The Child Advocacy Clinic enabled me to get a multi-dimensional perspective on the field of child advocacy, one that is crucial for me as I continue to work for and on behalf of children. The experience gave me valuable insight into the domestic system affecting children, allowing me to make better informed choices as I work in an international setting. Law school would not have been the same without CAP!”
