Don’t miss this in-depth look at the various alternatives to arrest and detention in the juvenile justice system – and why this is so important to the future of our youth.

Child law attorneys, criminal justice lawyers, and education law practitioners with intermediate practice experience who attend this online seminar will gain a better understanding of: the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice; how and why to advocate for an Article 4 prosecution (Minor Requiring Authoritative Supervision) rather than prosecution under Article 5 (Delinquency); how Comprehensive Community Based Youth Services (CCBYS) can help crisis de-escalation for children and adolescents; which services offer screening, assessment, and support services for children and adolescents experiencing a mental health crisis; how Redeploy Illinois is helping the youth in our communities; how Equip for Equality helps children navigate the legal landscape to obtain appropriate education rather than punishment for behavior that is related to a disability; and much more.
