Registration is closed for the 2024 Intensive Juvenile Defender Training.

This program is open to public defenders and private attorneys who represent juveniles in delinquency proceedings or attorneys who want to practice in this area. Topics will include juvenile interrogations, secured custody, and probable cause. We will also have a discussion about youth and gangs, taught by Dr. Steven R. Cureton, Professor and Department Head of Sociology, Criminology and Justice Studies, UNC Greensboro. Other sessions, subject to Bar approval, will satisfy attorneys' mental health and technology CLE requirements, including a session on juvenile defense and E-Courts. Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour the Guilford Juvenile Detention facility, hear from the facility's director, as well as juveniles who have experienced the system, and discuss the needs of youth and other matters of concern to defenders.
