SUMMARY |
|
"Professor Robert C. Fellmeth, the master of child rights and remedies and the long-time maestro of child advocacy, presents his Magnum Opus to inform our intellects, challenge our consciences and galvanize our motivation on behalf of children who will either inherit our derelictions or our beneficent foresight. This book works as a very comprehensive recruiter for students and other citizens who wish to help build a society and culture that nurtures the young into fulfilling their life's possibilities." |

“Finally, a distinguished advocate/scholar has produced a casebook on child-related
public policy establishment, implementation, and legal challenges that includes
such key topics as impact of the political environment, children’s civil
tort actions, government welfare benefits, child care and child health reform,
and educational opportunity. While also providing up-to-date statutory and
caselaw material on such traditional child law topics as delinquency, abuse/neglect,
and child custody/support, Professor Fellmeth contributes a new expert insight
into the evolution of children’s rights.”

“Child Rights & Remedies does a very good job of covering the issues that professional child advocates address in the course of their work. If prospective child advocates are trained using this book, they will be much better prepared to speak out for children. It will strengthen the child advocacy community to have advocates entering the field who already understand the range of issues, political pressures, and laws that shape children’s lives.”

| "Robert Fellmeth is one of America's leading child advocates. His knowledge of the political, legislative and legal aspects of advocacy for children is unparalleled, and this extraordinary book is the definitive treatment of the subject. Professor Fellmeth has carefully edited the relevant appellate cases. In addition to case law, however, which one finds in other books on children and the law, Professor Fellmeth's materials provide insights into the legislative and political processes that are unique, extremely valuable, and nowhere else to be found in the literature. Scattered throughout the book are provocative questions to stimualte interesting class discussion. This book is one of a kind and is highly recommended." |

| "Professor Fellmeth's provocative book goes beyond a narrow legal rights framework, identifying the factors and context that are uniquely at play when it comes to shaping policy for America's children and families. Any aspiring advocate needs the detail and the big picture, and this book provides both with insight and inspiration." |
