Criminal Reform for Youths Forum – April 8, noon, L-165
Akron Juvenile Judge Linda Teodosio will be speaking the topic of criminal reform for youths. The forum will be Monday April 8 from 12-1 in room 165. This is CLE eligible. In the juvenile system, there are many questions that continue to be asked such as: Are children being sent to prison too young? Does the juvenile system actually help children or is it leading them into a life of crime? Are kids getting off too easy just because the have not yet reached 18? These are the pressing questions facing the juvenile justice system. Judge Teodosio is an expert in this field and will be able to provide our current law students much insight.
