Concurrent Workshop-Part II |
| Please indicate which workshop you would like to attend with your name and e-mail them to the following address: als@suffolk.eduWorkshop C Miss Understood: Understanding Girl Clients So that You Can Represent Them More Effectively Girls arrive in the juvenile justice system often through paths marked by sexual and physical abuse, mental illness, substance abuse, family disconnection, and special education. They are disproportionately involved in the juvenile justice system as status offenders (e.g., runaways), are exploited as prostitutes, and often violate terms of probation and parole. To make sense of these complex and multi-system pathways, legal representation must be flexible, contextual, and consistent over time. Attend this workshop to gain a better understanding of your adolescent female clients. Learn more about their unique needs and how to use this knowledge to better represent your girl clients.
