Juvenile Law Moot Court Competition
The Center for Children's Rights and
the Moot Court Honors Board Present
The 12th Annual National Juvenile
Law Moot Court Competition
February 9-10, 2007
Whittier Law School and the Center
for Children's Rights are proud to announce the 12th
Annual National Juvenile Law Moot Court Competition. Over
the past decade, participants have tackled controversial
questions relating to child abuse, paternity, siblings rights,
in vitro fertilization, and the institutionalization of
minors. The event remains the only national competition
dedicated exclusively to issues confronting families and
children.
This year's problem presents the case
of In re Jason P. Jason P. is a thirteen year old
who was arrested and declared a ward of the court based
on a finding that he was involved in a shooting. At his
adjudication hearing, Jason sought unsuccessfully to suppress
evidence against him, including a confession he gave after
police denied his request to speak to a parent. Jason's
appeal of his adjudication raises a variety of challenging
constitutional issues.
$2,000 in Academic
Scholarships will be awarded.
