Some social workers might be lawyers, but it is not necessary for a social worker to hold a law degree or to have passed the bar exam (the law exam.)
It is possible. You'll need a judge to consent too, not just the lawyer and your social worker. Parental consent would also help.
Your best bet would be to talk to a lawyer. You will have a hard time going around your social worker, but you may be able to get another case worker assigned.
A worker compensation lawyer is a lawyer that represents a worker in a suit against the employer. This may arise if a worker get hurt on the job, is discriminated against, sexually abused, etc.. They are useful because they specify in this area of the law.
Contact the social worker that deals with their case. If the court say no you need a lawyer to prove you are fit to take them.
You can typically find out who your social worker is by contacting the agency or organization that assigned the social worker to you. You can also check any documentation or paperwork you have received from the social worker or the agency. Additionally, you may contact your case worker or supervisor for assistance in identifying your assigned social worker.
You will need a lawyer, unless you are already in contact with a social worker because of abuse issues. You could try the Juvenile Law Center. They are linked to the right. In Alabama I went to the D.A. office and was told you have to get a civil Lawyer.
No, a physician is not a social worker, but a medical doctor.

They are sometimes referred to as a social welfare worker.
"Social worker" should only be capitalized if it is used as part of a specific job title or when directly addressing someone with that title, for example: "Social Worker Smith" or "Hello, Social Worker."
The minimum requirement for a social worker is a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW).
No, the only way you may call yourself a social worker is if you are licensed by your state either as a Licsensed Social Worker, Clinical Social Worker, or Licensed Clinical Social Worker. If you choose to work in the social service field, your agency will probably provide you with the title of caseworker, counselor, social service worker. The term "Social Worker" is a legal definition, no different than "Attorney" or "Medical Doctor."
