Juvenile Defender Conference
August 17, 2012
The Juvenile Defender Conference addresses topics of interest to attorneys who represent juveniles in delinquency proceedings. The 2011 conference examined the consequences—both direct and collateral—of an adjudication of delinquency, dispositional tools available to juvenile defenders, disproportionate minority contact with the juvenile justice system, information sharing and the “confidential” juvenile file, and the use of adolescent brain development research to advocate for better outcomes for juvenile clients.
