A quick definition of child's attorney:

A child's attorney is a special lawyer who helps kids during legal cases like divorce or child abuse. They are appointed by the court to represent the child and make sure their rights are protected. The attorney must keep everything the child tells them confidential and work hard to make sure the child is treated fairly. This is important because every child deserves to have someone on their side who will fight for them.

A more thorough explanation:

A child's attorney is a lawyer who is appointed by a court to represent a child during a legal action, such as a divorce, termination, or child-abuse case. The attorney owes the child the duties of loyalty, confidentiality, and competent representation.

For example, if a child is involved in a custody battle between their parents, the court may appoint a child's attorney to represent the child's best interests and ensure that their voice is heard in the legal proceedings.

The appointment of a child's attorney is a limited one, only for a specific lawsuit. This right to legal representation for children in a juvenile proceeding was mandated by the Supreme Court in 1967.

Overall, a child's attorney plays a crucial role in protecting the rights and interests of children in legal proceedings.
