Fellows CLE Program – “Reflecting on a Century of Juvenile Justice: The Past in the Present” (8:30 AM – 10:00 AM) 

Hyatt Regency Hotel Chicago, 151 E. Wacker Dr.

(CLE Requested. You must be registered for the ABA Annual Meeting to receive CLE credit)

At its founding in Chicago just over a century ago, the juvenile justice system became a revolutionary new idea embedded in a legal institution. It was premised on the idea that children are inherently different from adults and were entitled to state protection—rather than punishment—even when they ran afoul of the law. How have these ideals held up in theory and practice over the years? This session will consider the ways legal and social conceptions of childhood and youth have shaped the evolution of the juvenile justice system.

Moderated by:

  • Hon. Ernestine Gray (Ret.) — Orleans Parish Juvenile Court

Panelists:

  • Tera Agyepong — Research Professor, ABF & Associate Professor of Legal History and African American History, DePaul University
  • Prudence Beidler Carr — Director, American Bar Association’s Center on Children and the Law
  • Michael Grossberg — Professor Emeritus of History, Indiana University
