Participants will explore the origins of the JJDPA, its core protections for youth, and how these safeguards have evolved over time. They’ll also discuss the law’s impact on state juvenile justice systems and its ongoing relevance today. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of this pivotal piece of legislation and its lasting influence on juvenile justice practices.
