Juveniles and the Courts
December 6, 2001
In December of 2001, Modern Courts' Capital District Chapter sponsored
a forum entitled, "Juveniles and the Courts; Achieving Justice
in Youth Court, Family Courts and Criminal Courts." The panelists
covered a wide range of responses to juvenile crimes, from the least
serious offenses which may get addressed in youth courts, the PINS
and Juvenile Delinquents whose cases come to family court for disposition,
to the most serious perpetrators of crime who may have to face an
adult criminal court. The forum attracted a very diverse audience
whose lively participation in the question and answer portion greatly
benefited the program. The Capital District Chapter is planning
a program on the Integrated Domestic Violence Courts in the spring
of 2002 (date to be announced). This region includes one of the
pilot sites of the JDV Courts in Rensselaer County.
