A CASA volunteer does not provide legal advice or representation, which are the roles of the child’s attorney. The CASA makes recommendations to the court based on what is in the child’s best interests, which may be different from the child’s wishes. The child’s attorney represents what the child wants. How Many Cases Does a CASA Volunteer Carry? Normally a CASA carries only one case at a time. A case may involve more than one child since a case refers to a family. On occasion, if the CASA demonstrates that he/she can carry two cases while maintaining quality advocacy services, a double caseload is permitted.
