ABOUT CHILDREN’S LAW CENTER NEW YORK
The Children’s Law Center is a non-profit law firm dedicated to giving a child a strong
voice in a legal proceeding that has a critical impact on his or her life. These cases can
be very emotionally challenging, and the outcomes have critical impacts for the children
involved. Yet, while each adult has an opportunity to speak to the Court and zealously

ABOUT DAWN J. POST
I am an expert in children’s rights, advocacy and litigation, and the central theme of my
work is that children and adolescents are entitled to have a voice in legal proceedings that
have a significant impact on their lives. To that end, I promote cultural competence to
address the underlying issues of poverty and social exclusion based upon race and socio-
economic status in the legal and foster care systems. I have provided various trainings on
family law matters focusing on trial skills, the role of the attorney for the child, custody
and visitation, and child protection. I have led national and international presentations
ranging from high conflict custody and visitation cases to broken adoptions. I am constantly
looking for innovative ways to improve the lives of the children in the legal system and work
hard to examine the issues which impact children and families from various angles and from
a global perspective.
