South Carolina Law Review Symposium: Circumstances of Youth

The South Carolina Law Review presents: Circumstance of Youth Symposium
Approved for 6 CLE credits in South Carolina.

The Symposium will survey trends in juvenile justice reform in South Carolina. Despite the juvenile justice system's initial goal of a rehabilitative-oriented model, states adopted a significantly more punitive approach. In consequence, children are assigned higher levels of culpability, often resulting in lengthy confinement.
