Who has oversight over Guardians ad litem in the State of Maine? – And Justice For All - BDN Maine Blogs:
We believe the one big, overriding issue for Guardian ad litem reform is the total lack of oversight of their work. This issue has been identified by several other important groups before – but in thinking more deeply about this issue – it is more than just a lack of oversight in the form of supervision. It is that most (if not all) Guardians ad litem are licensed professionals – lawyers, social workers, and such. They are in professions that have legally mandated oversight by their various Maine boards of licensing, yet these professional boards seem to be disabled by current laws governing Guardians ad litem from taking any normal corrective action on complaints from the public.
