The mission of the Children's Law Center of Massachusetts is to promote and secure equal justice and maximize the opportunities of low-income children and adolescents by providing quality advocacy and legal services.
The Law Center maintains a state-wide telephone helpline for parents, adolescents and attorneys to assist professionals seeking assistance and guidance on legal issues affecting children.
You can call them at 1-888-KIDLAW8 (1-888-543-5298).
Issues routinely addressed through intake calls include, but are not limited to: out-of-school children or children not receiving the educational services to which they are entitled under federal and state law; emancipation; immigration; the rights of children "removed" from foster care or other state human service systems; and collateral consequences of juvenile court involvement.Hours of operation:
