NITA Board member and children’s rights advocate Whitney Untiedt will moderate this thought-provoking conversation with nationally recognized leaders to review the key holdings of the 2021 Supreme Court case on sentencing schemes for minors charged with serious crimes. Attorneys Marsha Levick, Chief Legal Officer of the Juvenile Law Center, and Rebecca Turner, Senior Litigation Counsel at the Campaign for Fair Sentencing of Youth, will be joined by board-certified forensic psychologist Dr. Antoinette Kavanaugh for a moderated discussion to help practitioners understand the brain science, model out best practices in sentencing advocacy, and dig into strategies for investigation and litigation.<br /><br />This 90-minute webcast includes opportunities for audience participation and a Q&A with the presenters. It’s a can’t-miss for lawyers, judges, and other professionals seeking to understand the nexus of legal, social, and scientific issues that arise when children charged with crimes are facing prison sentences.
