This training serves as an introductory program on representing juveniles in delinquency proceedings. Topics include ethics and the role of counsel in delinquency proceedings; communicating with child and adolescent clients, witnesses, and victims; problems with petitions; suppression issues; detention advocacy; and preparing and arguing disposition. The program features workshops in which participants practice trial skills, such as preparing and arguing a suppression motion, and includes a discussion with juveniles in detention in the Chatham Youth Development Center.
