Book Synopsis Your Legal Rights as a Juvenile Tried as an Adult by : Cristen Nagle
Book excerpt: Teens who find themselves in trouble with the law need to know how to deal with the justice system. The fact that a teen can be tried either as a juvenile, and proceed through the juvenile justice system, or as an adult, and proceed through the criminal justice system, complicates this. This user-friendly guidebook explains the differences between the two systems and the advantages and disadvantages of each. It emphasizes how teens can use their constitutional rights to defend themselves. Specific scenarios make abstract concepts easy to grasp. The author and the expert reader are both practicing lawyers.
