How about:
[Parents], as guardians of the minor child [initials of minor],
versus
[Defendant]

Hello everyone,
My question is regarding filing a lawsuit on behalf of a minor. I have the
following two statutes I am trying to reconcile:
CCP 372(a)(1) says "When a minor ... is a party, that person shall appear
either by a guardian or ... by a guardian ad litem appointed by the court
in which the action or proceeding is pending,..."
CCP 376(a) says "The parents of a legitimate unmarried minor child, acting
jointly, may maintain an action for injury to the child caused by the
wrongful act or neglect of another...."
If I am filing a lawsuit on behalf of a minor, I have the option, under
372, to request an appointment of a GAL and move forward with the lawsuit.
If I do not want to go through the effort of obtaining a court order for
the GAL, can I proceed under 376? My problem is I have about 200 minors and
it will be very burdensome to go through the GAL process. Particularly more
so because of the rule with 14-year-olds. Any input is appreciated.
Have a good weekend guys!
Sincerely,
