Can the Board change the result of a case in which a certified GAL was appointed, appoint or remove a particular GAL in a case or provide advice about how I should proceed in a case?
No. The Board is an executive branch agency, the functions of which include, but are not limited to, the certification, and if necessary the disciplining, of certified and certain formerly certified GALs. The Board does not have the power to change the result in a particular case in which a GAL served. Determining the outcome of cases is a function of the judicial branch (the court). Appointment and removal of GALs are likewise matters that are within the institutional authority of the judiciary. A person seeking to reverse, modify or otherwise challenge court orders must do so through the court. The Board is not able to provide legal advice regarding proceedings in a case.
