YESTERDAY

Following a 13 year working association, Linda Chew (now District Judge) and Beth Parsons established the Children's Justice Center of El Paso in 1997. The CJC is a unique organization, and the only one of its kind in Texas. It is a pro bono legal and social services program established to serve the legal needs of children in El Paso who have been victimized by abuse and neglect.

TODAY

The CJC has represented more than 200 abused, abandoned, neglected and medically needy children in El Paso. We visit our child clients in their homes, hospital rooms, and treatment centers, and represent them in court. Currently over 60 dedicated volunteer attorneys work closely with the CJC's small staff.

TOMORROW

Our goal is to continue to advocate for abused and neglected children in El Paso to help assure a permanent, nurturing environment for every child. Moreover, we continue to expand our role as a resource center for child advocacy for the children of El Paso and serve as a model for the State of Texas.
