The Child Welfare Clinic (CWC) was founded in 2003 as an affiliate of the Levin College of Law's Center on Children and Families. Its mission is to enhance children's well-being by improving collaboration among professionals serving at-risk children.
CWC is a nine-credit, one-semester legal skills course. Students enrolled in the course are legal interns certified by the Florida Supreme Court to work under the supervision of Legal Skills Professor Monique Haughton Worrell, a member of The Florida Bar.
Interns with the Child Welfare Clinic obtain valuable training and experience with cases involving child abuse and neglect, child custody, delinquency, domestic violence and health care. Students are assigned to a field placement with the Child Protection Team, Juvenile Public Defender or Child Welfare Legal Services. All students in the clinic attend an intensive seminar emphasizing teamwork and collaboration with other disciplines and governmental agencies and are trained legal interns, certified by the Florida Supreme Court.
