A. Counsel for a parent, regarding the disposition process, should:
1. where a
respondent chooses not to proceed to adjudication, ensure that a stipulation
agreement is negotiated with consideration of the dispositional
implications;
2. ensure the client
is not harmed by inaccurate information or information that is not properly
before the court in determining the disposition;
3. ensure all reasonably available mitigating
and favorable information, which is likely to benefit the client, is presented
to the court; and
4. develop a plan
which seeks to achieve the least restrictive and burdensome disposition that is
most acceptable to the client, and which can reasonably be obtained based on
the facts and circumstances of the case.
