Illinois CASA is pleased to announce a free virtual training, entitled, Court Reports that Paint a Picture for the Judge. Join us for an interactive session where CASA volunteers will explore the essential elements of writing an effective court report. Whether you're new to writing reports or looking to refine your skills, this session will provide practical strategies for creating clear, factual, and impactful reports that support judicial decision-making. Participants will learn how to incorporate unbiased observations, elevate the youth’s voice, highlight well-being and normalcy efforts, and make the most of their local program resources. With a focus on clarity and purpose, this training will help ensure that your court reports truly reflect the advocacy efforts made by CASAs in their cases
