Uniform Juvenile Court Act

Read a random definition: legal systems

A quick definition of Uniform Juvenile Court Act:

The Uniform Juvenile Court Act is a set of rules made in 1968 to help children who are in trouble with the law. It aims to take care of them, help them get better, and not punish them like adults. The act also tries to keep families together, unless it's better for the children to be apart. It gives children a fair trial and protects their rights. Lastly, it makes it easy for different states to work together to help children who need it.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Juvenile Court Act is a model statute created in 1968 to provide care, protection, and development for children who come under its provisions. It aims to provide juvenile delinquents with treatment, training, and rehabilitation instead of criminal punishment. The act also attempts to keep families together unless separation is necessary for the children's welfare or is in the public interest. It provides a judicial procedure for a fair hearing and protection of juvenile delinquents' constitutional and other legal rights. Additionally, it provides simple interstate procedures to carry out cooperative measures among the juvenile courts of different states.

For example, if a 15-year-old is caught stealing, instead of being sent to jail, the Uniform Juvenile Court Act would provide treatment and rehabilitation to help the child understand the consequences of their actions and prevent them from committing similar crimes in the future. The act also ensures that the child's legal rights are protected during the judicial process.

I saw someone got a full-ride in exchange for deferring. I didn't even know that was a thing? Has it happened to anyone else?

@GatorNation: I don't know that school all that well. But it's ranked really low and usually rankings don't matter much if you're just trying to practice. But I'd be careful and look on reddit. Cause some of these schools can be highkey predatory.

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.

Ok thank you!

check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
