Yes. In Ohio, volunteer guardians ad litem are given statutory authority under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) §2151.281. The guardian ad litem statute requires the court to appoint a guardian ad litem to specific types of cases. ORC §2305.38 provides civil immunity (protection) to uncompensated volunteers of non-profit charitable organizations. Pertinent case law also exists that addresses the work of the CASA/GAL volunteer.
