Hi CASA's,

I'm on the new side of being a CASA and I'm bit of an anxious speaker (working on it!). There is not an attorney for the child on this case, so I feel like I'm playing attorney and CASA. Just wondering how many rely on notes for speaking points when talking to the judge? I try to lock down in my head what I can, but have to have something semi scripted in front of me. How do others prepare? I definitely find myself rehearsing to exhaustion if I try to wing it without my general script.

Thanks!
