Juvenile Interview Program Information Session – March 31, 10 am, W-206

On Saturday, March 31, 2012 there will be an informational session from 10 AM till noon in  West Hall 206. The purpose of this informational session is to train  interested students to interview juvenile clients at the juvenile courthouse on Dan Street in Akron Ohio. The juvenile court house is about a five minute drive from campus. This program was started last year and has allowed law students to be trained to interview juveniles awaiting a release hearing. You will gather facts about the clients in the early morning hours (7:30-9:00 a.m.) of each weekday and then share that information with the appointed attorneys.

The informational session will introduce you to the program. We will use a video we have previously created to train you. Students who are interested in volunteering or getting pro bono hours are especially requested to attend. If you have  questions please contact Professor Carro at 330-972-7751. If you are interested in attending please e-mail Professor Carro at his e-mail address carro1@uakron.edu  by March 26 so we know how many people will be attending. Thank you.
