The Suffolk University Juvenile Justice Center is guided by the philosophy that comprehensive lawyering is essential to meet the needs of juveniles involved with the courts. It is the Center s goal to provide a demonstration model through representation by advocates that addresses the legal needs of the child. The Clinic will serve the Boston Juvenile Court, South Boston, West Roxbury and Chelsea Juvenile Courts. The classroom consists of lectures and demonstrations focusing on juvenile law, practice in the juvenile court,trial skills and basic criminal procedure.
Preference is given to students in their final year.
