This is advocacy with "teeth!" The cases I have served on illustrate the role CASA volunteers play as the principle players for the "best interest of the child." By integrating data and observations through contact with the children, I have found evidence unseen by the caseworkers and even the judge. The strength of my personal observations has impacted the judge's decisions, sometimes in opposition to the inclinations of other case participants. That made the difference!
