Who presides over hearings, determines questions of fact and law, and makes final determinations of case issues?

Circuit Clerks
Judges
Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)
Guardians Ad Litem

The correct answer is: Judges

In child welfare cases, judges preside over hearings, determine questions of fact and law, and make final determinations of case issues. Judges are impartial legal officers who ensure that the best interest of the child is protected and upheld throughout the legal process. Circuit Clerks are responsible for maintaining court records and managing administrative tasks related to court cases. Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and Guardians Ad Litem are typically appointed to represent the best interests of the child but do not have the authority to preside over hearings or make final determinations.
