Description
Now in its 16th year, this seminar addresses more advanced areas of juvenile court practice. This year’s seminar will focus upon improving litigation skills, and includes panel presentations on the prosecution and defense of adjudications in juvenile proceedings. In addition, the seminar will offer a combined presentation by Project Harmony and law enforcement to help practitioners understand and respond to the challenging problem of human trafficking.
We are also honored to welcome Chief Justice Michael Heavican to the seminar, who will share his views on what the appellate courts look for in appeals from juvenile proceedings.
