This project is the result of a grant from the IOLA
Fund and we are very grateful that they share our
vision of easy access to legal information for all
runaway and homeless youth and the programs that
serve them.
This booklet would not have been possible without the
support and expertise of many individuals. Two who
loaned us their time, energy and expertise were Jim
Payne, Esq and Karen Norlander, Esq. We especially
appreciate their clear and concise answers to very
complicated and confusing questions. Karen's editing
of the book was extremely valuable.
