Arizona Judicial Branch

Get Involved!

Ensuring justice for all is a community effort. Courts, prosecutors, law enforcement and community groups all play a very active and direct role in the judicial process. Did you know that there are hundreds of opportunities for you to get involved?

Whether you serve as an advocate for an abused or neglected child or serve on a Foster Care Review Board, you could make a profound difference. We also have many opportunities to serve on advisory committees and commissions.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)

CASA was established to help protect abandoned, abused, and neglected children. CASAs are trained volunteers who donate their time to help the court system and determine what is best for the children who have come under the court's care.

FCRBs advise the juvenile court on progress toward achieving a permanent home for a child or children involved in a dependency action and in an out-of-home placement. The well-being of these children is the highest concern to board members.
