Juvenile Rights was the brainchild of a team of paralegal students involved with CLIC's Penal Law program. It was formed to target the growing number of teenagers, both male and female, in danger of entering the penal system. The Juvenile Rights program, with the support of the Chico Unified School District, offers an education not found in the traditional educational setting. Our program actively recruits juveniles from the various junior and high school levels in the Chico area. We accommodate at least one group of approximately 8 to 10 students per objective is to take these individuals through an extensive program in which they will see the reality, not the glamorization of the criminal justice system.
Deterrence is our main goal.
Through creative and unconventional means, the Juvenile Rights team strives to edu-cate the youth about the responsibilities that they are facing each day as young adults. Juvenile Rights interns are not counselors or advisors. We are paralegal interns providing information. 1999 California State University, Chico.
