Are persons listed on the GAL roster guaranteed that they will receive appointments as a GAL in individual cases?
No. Being listed on the GAL roster is no guarantee that an individual will be asked to serve as a GAL in cases. GALs are appointed at the individual discretion of the presiding Judge or Case Management Officer making the appointment . Rostering merely qualifies a person to be considered for appointment in cases, but in no manner assures that an individual will receive appointments. Volunteers who have been accepted into the Maine CASA program will be appointed, on a volunteer basis, to at least one Title 22 child protection case.
