 Welcome to the Corinne Wolfe Children’s Law Center, a center within the Institute
of Public Law at the University
of New Mexico School of Law dedicated to improving
outcomes for children involved in abuse or neglect and
delinquency proceedings in New Mexico. The Center was
established by the New
Mexico Supreme Court Foster Care Task Force to increase
the effectiveness of judicial proceedings under the Children’s Code by providing training and other educational resources
to the professionals and volunteers who participate in
them.
The Center is named in honor of Corinne Wolfe, an original member of the Task Force and
a lifelong advocate for children. Corinne was instrumental
in developing social work programs at New Mexico Highlands
University, the College of Santa Fe, and New Mexico
State University. She was honored as the 1986 Social
Worker of the Year by the National
Association of Social Workers and in 1993 she was
elected an NASW Social Work Pioneer. Corinne died in
September 1997.
