Juvenile Law: Predelinquency and Delinquency 2021 Edition

This handbook covers issues relating to predelinquent and delinquent minors, including trials, transfer of jurisdiction, and federal law and practice.

This handbook guides attorneys in protecting the rights of juvenile clients and in dealing with the unique problems faced by minors who become involved with the legal system. This handbook covers issues concerning predelinquent behavior in which juveniles are engaging in wrongful, but not necessarily criminal, behavior and delinquency in which juveniles are alleged to have committed criminal acts. Specific topics include status offenses, diversion and pre-adjudication disposition, transfer of jurisdiction, trial, proceedings after trial and sentencing, post-disposition review, and federal juvenile law and practice. The handbook is full of hands-on information for attorneys to use in their practice such as a listing of terms and their definitions relevant for juvenile justice motions, trials, pleas, and appeals; guidance on the steps of a trial from interviewing witnesses to opening statements to cross-examination, along with sample examinations; and a list of first steps in a juvenile law case.
