A lawyer for a minor in Germany

The long attempts of the global community to orient justice to the child-friendly standards have not yet brought the reform process to its logical end. The existing practice of law enforcement still makes it impossible to say that a minor, his rights and interests are fully protected by the State. There are so many reasons for this: lack of funding and political will, uncoordinated work of state and non-state structures, non-professional approach, complexity of the reform process itself, which requires a thoughtful qualitative analysis of the problem and a clear solution. Although, the reference to the uniqueness of the child as a subject of law and the need to take into account his needs, is primarily at the state level. The aim of the paper is to study the German experience, as it is among the States that have long oriented policies towards children and this State tries to develop various juvenile technologies. The article analyses the specificities of the administration of justice in Germany in family cases involving a child. In particular, consideration is being given to the work of a lawyer in order to safe the interests of the child in a case.
