Court Accompaniment and Support
Whenever possible CASASC staff will accompany a client to court and will remain as a support person throughout the process. This accompaniment includes the preliminary hearing and the trial. CASASC staff has no role in the trial process; they attend only as a support to the client.
Supportive family members and /or friends may also be included in the court orientation process, at the request of the client and may also accompany the client to court.
