Excited....CASA here...as a CASA you represent the wishes of the child. You are not an officer of the court (in my state) you insure that the court knows the interests of the child. There are times when you will be required to go to meetings to establish who has a vested interests, and the out come of the case. You will have to get the cases from the social worker or anyone who has custody of the paper work, so that U know all the ins and outs of previous court appearances. There is a lot of driving in some cases. You will need to interview the a-parents and establish who can take the child if all else fails..etc......there may be individuals who want the child but for financial or other reasons are not able to have them...if you want to know more, let me know..
I wish you the best
