The Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program has been rapidly expanding in its 25-year history, although there has been little sound, empirical data assessing its value. The present study compared 21 judicial hearings regarding children who had a CASA with 20 hearings for children who were on a waiting list for a CASA. Judges, CASAs, and guardians ad litem provided the data for the study. The findings indicated that CASA involvement improves the breadth and quality of information provided to the courts. Unfortunately, CASA involvement also appears to decrease the involvement of the guardian ad litem. Implications of these findings are discussed.
法院指定特别辩护人（CASA）项目在其25年的历史中一直在迅速扩张，尽管几乎没有可靠的实证数据来评估其价值。本研究比较了21起涉及有CASA的儿童的司法听证会和20起涉及在CASA等候名单上的儿童的听证会。法官、CASA和诉讼监护人提供了该研究的数据。研究结果表明，CASA的参与提高了向法院提供的信息的广度和质量。不幸的是，CASA的参与似乎也减少了诉讼监护人的参与。文中讨论了这些发现的影响。
