Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A guardian ad litem is an attorney appointed by the court to represent a child's best interests in a legal matter. They do not necessarily represent the child's wishes or desires, but instead advocate for what they believe is best for the child. This is different from a defense counsel or public defender, who would be representing the child in a criminal case, and an intake probation officer, who is responsible for assessing the needs and risks of the child and making recommendations to the court.
