Juvenile Court For Defense Attorneys Revised

This is a straightforward, how-to law book about juvenile court delinquency practice, presented by an attorney who has defended more than 1000 children. Greatly expanded from the edition published in 2016, this revised edition has two parts plus an index. Part I, the Attorney Practice Guide, is an update of the first edition. Part II, Illustrative Cases, presents stories from cases the author personally handled. The issues in Part I and the cases in Part II are cross-referenced. This book describes effective juvenile defense practice in all states, nationwide. It illustrates overarching issues such as how to deal with clients who are children, how to handle attorney-client privilege when dealing with parents, strategies to get clients released from juvenile hall, and often-missed mental health and school issues that are required to be addressed in all states under federal law and many state codes. Every public defender's office and criminal practice firm should have a copy of this book on hand when juvenile cases arise. A staff attorney first assigned a delinquency case can quickly read it and immediately have a leg up on what happens and what to do. For lawyers, legal assistants, and law school clinic students this book explains how to avoid common mistakes and understand what it is like to have children for clients. For all readers, it lets you look through an attorney's eyes inside a courtroom that is customarily closed to the public.
