Question

In Clark County, Nevada, a system of people with this role that was started by a “public” one named Jared Shafer was accused of financial mismanagement. Wajeha al-Huwaider (“wah-DJAY-hah ahl-hoo-WIGH-dare”) encouraged people to protest against a system of people with this role by trying to enter Bahrain. Charlie Crist (“KRIHST”) and Nancy Mace’s 2022 FREE Act aimed to reform this system in the US. CASA programs appoint people to serve as this role (*) “ad litem” (-5[1])(“ad LIGHT-uhm”). This term (10[1])is the most common (10[1])translation (10[1])of the Arabic legal term “wali.” A conservator is a variant (-5[1])of this role whose power is usually restricted to financial arrangements, (-5[1])while power (-5[1])of attorney differs from this role in being voluntary. For 10 points, give this legal term for a person with the authority to make decisions for another person, often a child. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: guardian [accept guardianship and other word forms; accept tutor; accept curator; accept custodian; prompt on conservator or conservatorship before read with “what more general role do conservators have?”; prompt on wali before read]
