Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

A citizens' review panel does not have the authority to make a ruling for the judge, as they are meant to review the judge's decisions and actions, not make decisions on their behalf. They also do not physically sit in the courtroom with the judge, as their role is to provide an independent review from outside of the court setting. While the panel can 'hear' a judicial review and make recommendations to the court, they do not consist solely of members from the guardian ad litem program. The panel is typically composed of members from various backgrounds and professions, not just the guardian ad litem program. Therefore, option C is the most accurate answer as it highlights the core function of a citizens' review panel.
