HARRISON COUNTY, Miss. (WLOX) - A months-long rift between the Harrison County Youth Court and the advocacy group CASA has been resolved.
Judge Mike Dickinson swore in 24 CASA volunteers Thursday and already appointed two on cases. The others will be re-appointed to the cases they were working on in September when the dispute began.
CASA is Court Appointed Special Advocates. The organization is a non-profit, made up of staff and volunteers who review legal cases brought by Mississippi Child Protective Services. In September, the judge barred members of Harrison County CASA from his courtroom until changes were made.
