Charging Juvenile Delinquency Cases

Webinar
April 6, 2022
90-minute presentation
12:00 p.m. EDT

This course will help prosecutors learn how to evaluate cases prior to charging. Law enforcement narratives don’t often easily reveal weak points in cases that should be considered prior to charging. Example cases will help prosecutors anticipate weaknesses and how to address them, whether it be asking for more investigation, charging differently, or dropping the charges altogether. Various considerations and a multitude of options in disposing of juvenile criminal matters will be discussed.

If you are a state’s attorney or assistant district attorney working in juvenile court, you will automatically be joined to NDAA’s national listserv of prosecutors working in juvenile court.  You will receive training updates, federal juvenile law updates, and juvenile court trends and best practices posts about twice a month.  We can only add you to the listserv if you included your official state or county email address and designated yourself as a prosecutor at registration.  You can opt out of the group at any time.
