The article discusses the issue of a guardian ad litem who represents a child appointing a trainee advocate as a legal representative, as well as the guardian appointing an attorney who is an advocate or another lawyer or appointing a substitute attorney. The analysis concerns the differences between an advocate being represented by a trainee advocate and the appointment of an attorney or substitute attorney. The author attempts to demonstrate that that contrary to general courts’ case law, where different positions appear, there are no legal obstacles for an advocate who plays the role of a guardian ad litem appointed under Article 99 et seq. of the Family and Guardianship Code being represented by a trainee advocate or appointing an attorney or substitute attorney.
