Children And The Law: Cases And Materials

This casebook provides new materials relevant to emerging issues in legal areas involving children and schools, and offers extensive treatment of the juvenile justice system that may be used for a general course in children and the law or for a more specific course in juvenile delinquency and status offense. Gardner and Dupre, both longtime teachers of juvenile law, cover a range of issues previously uncommon in courses in juvenile law, including contrasting theories of the rights of juveniles, child abuse, and issues encountered by children within the educational system.
