Voice for the Voiceless: Protecting Youth Rights in the Justice System
This is the second installment of the ABA Coalition on Racial and Ethnic Justice's "Kids in Custody: Legal Challenges and a Call to Action" webinar series.
This webinar will focus on the critical legal issues of youth arrests and detentions. It will delve into due process violations and equal protection concerns that frequently arise in these cases and unpack strategies to safeguard the rights of youth. The presenters hope to provide practical knowledge to help ensure the fair treatment of system involved youth and disrupt the school to prison pipeline.
