Staff in CAFL’s Family Justice Advocates (FJA) represent children and indigent parents in state intervention/family regulation cases in the Worcester County Juvenile Courts and Probate and Family Courts. FJA – located in Worcester– is part of CAFL’s “conflicts” trial office. It has separate physical offices, management, computer systems, and other mechanisms in place to ensure its independence and separation from all other CPCS offices for conflict-of-interest purposes. Family Justice Advocates was established in 2022 in Springfield, Massachusetts and the office expanded to Worcester County in 2024. Family Justice Advocates provides client-focused representation to parents and children in child welfare family intervention cases throughout the county. Worcester is New England’s second-largest city (with just over 200,000 people). Located in central Massachusetts, Worcester is home to eight colleges and universities, a world-class art museum, restaurants, music venues, and a diverse culture.
