A quick definition of CASA:

Term: CASA

Definition: CASA stands for Court-Appointed Special Advocate. This means that a special person is chosen by a judge to help a child who is going through a tough time. The CASA helps the child by listening to them, making sure their needs are met, and speaking up for them in court. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, which means that there can be more than one person helping a child.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: CASA stands for Court-Appointed Special Advocate or Court Appointed Special Advocates. These are specially trained volunteers who are appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interests of children who are in the foster care system or involved in court proceedings due to abuse or neglect.

Example: When a child is removed from their home due to abuse or neglect, they may be placed in foster care. A CASA volunteer may be appointed by the court to get to know the child, speak with their caregivers and teachers, and make recommendations to the court about what is in the child's best interest. The CASA volunteer may also attend court hearings and provide updates to the judge.

Another example: A CASA volunteer may work with a child who is in the process of being adopted. The volunteer can help ensure that the child's needs and wishes are being considered during the adoption process.

These examples illustrate how CASA volunteers play an important role in advocating for the well-being of children who are involved in the court system. They provide a voice for children who may not have one and work to ensure that their best interests are being considered.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
