Restating Juvenile Justice
Course Description
This seminar will use juvenile justice as a case study of challenges in "restating the law" in an area of the law that is largely statutory, in transition, and properly grounded in evolving knowledge about adolescent development. Illustrative topics include criminal responsibility, applicability of procedural safeguards in delinquency proceedings, delinquency dispositions, transfer to criminal courts, and criminal sentencing.
