Guardian ad litem

So I spelled it wrong in my previous post but here is what Guardian ad litem means:


Guardian ad litem
A guardian appointed to assist an infant or other mentally incapable defendant or plaintiff, or any such incapacitated person that may be a party in a legal action.


GUARDIAN AD LITEM - Lat. "guardian at law." The person appointed by the court to look out for the best interests of the child during the course of legal proceedings.

What a relief that you are TB free and we don't have to wear those white face masks to work! :) I'm glad you found an official definition for guardian ad litem. It sounds much better than my television-based made-up definition.
