Effective March 2016, the juvenile justice system in New Jersey will see changes in the process of effectively advocating for teens in trouble. These new laws are the culmination of efforts to create age appropriate treatment and access to rehabilitation for teens who engage in unlawful activity.
Learn the new changes to the law and how they affect your clients, including:
• Age at which a juvenile can be charged as an adult
• Changes involving what crimes can be transferred to adult courts
• Waiver hearings
• Sentencing changes
• Changes to treatment of juveniles once they are in the system - a discussion of housing and confinement
