ORLANDO, Fla - Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law Clinic Instructor Kim Crag-Chaderton is being recognized for her pro bono work in the community. Crag-Chaderton is one of dozens of Orange County lawyers being recognized by the Florida Supreme Court and the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association for their 2022 pro bono work.
“I am passionate about helping children in the dependency court system,” said Crag-Chaderton . “It is encouraging to see how I can have an impact by identifying services and assisting in providing for the needs of a child.”
The Florida Guardian ad Litem Office represents Florida’s abused, neglected and abandoned children in court and the community.
“What some may consider minor changes can have a major effect on a child’s life,” said Crag-Chaderton. “The love and appreciation that comes with this experience is extremely rewarding. Recently, I had a child refer to me as her ‘Angel ad Litem’ – what better compensation could one ask for.”
Each year, attorneys who contribute 20 or more hours receive a letter from the Chief Justice and a pin recognizing their contributions.
