Hmmm. Did not know that. So really a Guardian Ad Litem does not HAVE to been an attorney, but just someone making sure the child's best interests are represented.
I often wondered because it seems as though the GAL and CASA duties and responsibilities overlap and the only real difference is the GAL may be a little more prepared for legal issues etc.
Thanks for the post because I was confused. I wish they would make everything the same everywhere. Licensing, rules, etc. are different everywhere and makes things so much more complicated than they have to be.
