Questions:
1) Have you seen differences in children in immigration proceedings who have a jAC

court, alter the wording of this question appropriately. Can ask respondent to compare to
before jAC program existed in the court or to children in the court not covered by jAC.)
2) Do you feel that the children who have a jAC representative are better informed? If yes,
which aspects are they more informed about?
3) Do you feel that the children who have a jAC representative are more prepared for court?
If yes, in what ways?
4) Do you feel that the children who have a jAC representative have a better understanding
of court processes? If yes, which processes do they understand more than those without a
jAC representative or pre/post jAC?
5) What do the children who have a jAC representative seem to understand about their relief
options?
6) Are there parts about the court or court process the children who have a jAC
representative still seem confused about? If so, what are those parts?
