Description

Cases and Materials in Juvenile Law 2nd Edition J. Eric Smithburn ISBN 9780820570389

Cases and Materials in Juvenile Law, Second Edition offers a comprehensive collection of course materials for teaching juvenile law and process, covering both delinquency and child welfare systems. Organized into sixteen chapters, the text is roughly balanced between these two areas and includes dedicated chapters on topics such as children's rights in public schools, special advocacy for children, mental health commitments, and alternative dispute resolution in juvenile cases.

Each chapter features notes and questions designed to supplement the readings and foster classroom discussion. Select chapters include practical problems that place students in real-world scenarios, encouraging them to analyze legal issues and develop potential solutions.

The first and final chapters provide material that invites students to explore the history and philosophical foundations of the juvenile court system and to critically evaluate its future. Rather than prescribing a specific model for reform, the book presents multiple perspectives to stimulate discussion and reflection throughout the course.
