WATCH: Heroes of Child Justice - Keynote Address

If you missed this year's Heroes of Child Justice event in Annapolis, you missed a wonderful heartfelt keynote. The speech is available to view in its entirety on our YouTube channel. We invite you to listen to siblings Chas and Kasey, two of our earliest child clients, who courageously reflected on their long family court experience and encouraged others to support the work that Child Justice does.

Congratulations to CJI Legal Director Paul Griffin

We are proud to announce that Legal Director Paul Griffin, has been appointed by the American Bar Association (ABA) to serve on its Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence for a one-year term, which began at the adjournment of the ABA Annual Meeting in August 2025.

In its notification, the ABA emphasized the significance of Paul’s service:

“As we face so many challenges, your leadership is needed now more than ever to protect our justice system and to advance the rule of law… With your commitment, we will address issues of great importance to lawyers, our Association, and the public.”

The ABA Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence mobilizes the legal profession to increase access to justice for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The 2025-2026 Commission will be chaired by Maleaha Brown, with Maricarmen Garza serving as staff liaison. Congratulations, Paul!
