Synonyms
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An advocate is someone who speaks on behalf of another person, especially in a legal context. It is used primarily in reference to the system of Scots law, Anglo-Dutch law, Scandinavian and Israeli law, and also to refer to the fused legal professions in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Implicit in the concept is the notion that the represented lacks the knowledge, skill, ability, or standing to speak for themselves. The broad equivalent in many English law-based jurisdictions is "barrister". Advocates in ScotlandAdvocates, members of the Faculty of Advocates, are counsel who are entitled to present cases in the supreme courts of Scotland: the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary.

I want to become a child advocate, and want to make sure that i would be needing a Masters degree in social work. I have also heard that CASA is based on volunteers, but there are places where i can get paid for being a child advocate, right? I know my questions sound jumbled but any help would be great.

Usually states do require a Masters Degree I am not sure if you will have to take any special classes that deal with children or not. Also teaching might be a good idea also because a teacher is often called upon to advocate for the students in their classroom. I hope this helps you! Good luck with school!

Q. Our neighbor has been hanging out with my son, and he told my son he sees a Teen Advocate. What is that? Isn't that for teenagers that are in trouble with the law? Asked by lisa425lisa - Thu Aug 9 05:07:09 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Teen advocates work with Planned Parenthood to increase awareness of the dangers of unsafe choices versus why teens should make more healthy choices, particularly when it comes to sexual decisions. They do not work with teens who have trouble with the law any more than they work with other teens. Hope this helps, and be glad your son chose such a responsible friend!
