The Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice will also provide information about juvenile justice system preparation for implementation of the new law on December 1, 2019. The course is open to any individual whose work touches the processing of juvenile delinquency cases, including law enforcement, juvenile court counselors, judges, magistrates, clerks, juvenile prosecutors and defense counsel, and school administrators.
