Better Courts for Kids is a member of the National Association of Court Monitoring Programs.

HOME ABOUT US WHY COURT MONITORING? LEGISLATION HOW YOU CAN HELP		About Us Our organization is composed of former Georgia Juvenile Court volunteers.  Based upon our experiences advocating for children inside the courtroom and working externally to improve the foster care system, we strongly believe that opening deprivation proceedings to the public is a critical step toward improving performance and accountability of judges, attorneys, Division of Family and Children's Services (DFCS) employees and court staff.  Our grassroots organization is not alone in this belief. Our group includes a realtor, banker, university administrator/political scientist, published author, 2 attorneys, a non-profit CEO, and an epidemiologist. Some of our members are adoptive parents.
		Better Courts for Kids was instrumental in the passage of SB-207 that opened juvenile court hearings in Georgia for abused and neglected children.  While the law went into effect in 2010, it is still in the process of being implemented in all courts in the state.
