Join us for the inaugural conference of the Juvenile and Child
Welfare Section on the 50th anniversary of the landmark decision
In re Gault. We'll examine how the promise of
Gault has been fulfilled in Massachusetts thus far and
discuss opportunities for inserting due process into every
remaining facet of the Juvenile Court process. From emergency
custody hearings and arraignments to access to public education and
services, court appearances, probation, and much more, come
challenge your understanding of due process and discover how to
implement this principle in your child welfare and juvenile justice
practice.
The conference will take place on Friday, April 7, from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m., at the United Teen Equality Center (UTEC) in Lowell, which
is a place of special significance given the meaningful work they
do in the juvenile community.
This program qualifies for 7 CAFL/YAD credits. Special
pricing is available for practitioners on the CAFL and YAD panels
as well as members of the Juvenile Law Bar
Association.
