Juvenile Training Immersion Program Juvenile Delinquency Cases: To Plea or Not to Plea June 1, 2018 Noblesville, Indiana

The vast majority of juvenile delinquency cases are resolved by way of an admission to the allegations. Therefore, it is critical that juvenile defense attorneys understand the law related to admissions and pleas, know when and how to advise youth in deciding whether to enter a plea and ensure that youth make only knowing, voluntary and intelligent waiver of the right to trial.

During this 3 hour CLE which includes 1 hour of ethics credit, ethical considerations regarding the defender’s obligations to provide effective assistance of counsel during the plea negotiation stage will be explored. Defenders will develop skills and strategies for communicating and negotiating with other stakeholders in the juvenile justice system with the goal of achieving the client’s stated outcome. Defenders will review the advantages and disadvantages of pleas, including long term collateral consequences. And defenders will explore ways to counsel youth clients regarding plea considerations that take into account and overcome developmental barriers that may exist.
