"Focusing on the client, the pathway she takes into delinquency, and the full range of her legal needs humanizes delinquency so that the lawyer truly represents the client, and not just the case."

Francine T. Sherman, Director
Juvenile Rights Advocacy Project
Boston College of Law School

Representing minors in the juvenile justice system involves accessing the mental, physical, and child welfare resources as well as legal representation in delinquency or criminal proceedings. With over fifteen years as both a public defender and private practitioner, I have obtained extensive experience working with the agencies that provide services to the child and the parent.
