LAW 2887 - Juvenile Justice Seminar
This seminar examines why and how the legal system differentiates children in trouble from misbehaving adults. It looks at both the original and current issues concerning the juvenile justice system. Along the way, the course explores the question of what remains of the juvenile court’s rehabilitative ideal; issues in a juvenile delinquency case from intake to disposition; the constitutional domestication of juvenile courts; and the open question whether the century-old separate juvenile justice system deserves revival or replacement. The paper option for Writing Requirement II is available to 20 students, and counts for 50 percent of the grade. There is also a final examination, which is worth either 50 percent or 100 percent of the grade, depending on whether students choose the paper option.
