Juvenile Delinquent And Unruly Proceedings In Ohio: Unconstitutional Adjudications, Patricia Simia Kleri Jan 1975

Juvenile Delinquent And Unruly Proceedings In Ohio: Unconstitutional Adjudications, Patricia Simia Kleri

Cleveland State Law Review

This article will focus on the constitutional defects of juvenile court adjudications under Ohio juvenile law. The arguments presented, however, are equally applicable in other jurisdictions since every state has some type of legislation granting juvenile court jurisdiction over both criminals and noncriminal misconduct of children.


Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings In Ohio: Due Process And The Hearsay Dilemma, Sara E. Strattan Jan 1975

Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings In Ohio: Due Process And The Hearsay Dilemma, Sara E. Strattan

Cleveland State Law Review

This comment will explore the extent to which the exclusion of hearsay evidence in a delinquency proceeding is a practical reality in the Ohio system. In so doing, the possibilities for abuse will be highlighted and suggestions for their elimination will be made, all in the spirit of the Supreme Court's mandate to provide fundamental due process safeguards to this procedure.


Notice In Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings, Adrienne Volenik Jan 1975

Notice In Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings, Adrienne Volenik

Law Faculty Publications

Despite these suggestions, the problem of what constitutes adequate notice continues to plague juvenile courts. Furthermore, by suggesting two criminal and two civil cases as examples, the Court added the issue of whether a civil or a criminal standard for notice should be applied. Courts that have addressed this issue have reached different conclusions.

Juvenile Courts--Juveniles In Delinquency Proceedings Are Not Constitutionally Entitled To The Right Of Trial By Jury--Mckeiver V. Pennsylvania, Michigan Law Review Nov 1971

Juvenile Courts--Juveniles In Delinquency Proceedings Are Not Constitutionally Entitled To The Right Of Trial By Jury--Mckeiver V. Pennsylvania, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

At a hearing in the juvenile court of Philadelphia in October 1968, Joseph McKeiver was declared a "delinquent child" and placed on probation by a juvenile court judge who determined that McKeiver had violated a Pennsylvania law. The juvenile court petition charged McKeiver, then sixteen years old, with robbery, larceny, and receiving stolen goods as the result of an incident in which McKeiver and twenty or thirty other youths took twenty-five cents from three teenagers. Despite the fact that the evidence against McKeiver consisted primarily of the weak and inconsistent testimony of two of the victims, the juvenile court judge, …

Criminal Procedure—Juveniles: Retroactive Application Of In Re Gault Denied In Washington—Brumley V. Charles Denny Juvenile Center, 77 Wn.2d 702, 466 P.2d 481 (1970), Anon

Washington Law Review

Genevieve Fay Brumley was adjudged a delinquent child by the juvenile court of Snohomish County on December 12, 1966 after she admitted telephoning bomb threats to local schools. Present at the adjudicatory hearing were court personnel, her parents, a welfare caseworker, a probation officer, and a policeman. She was not represented by counsel. During her subsequent incarceration, the United States Supreme Court extended the right to counsel to juvenile proceedings in In re Gault. In August of 1968, Miss Brumley petitioned the superior court for a writ of habeas corpus, contending that the Gault decision required a reversal of her …

The Standard Of Proof In Juvenile Proceedings: Gault Beyond A Reasonable Doubt, James Hillson Cohen Jan 1970

The Standard Of Proof In Juvenile Proceedings: Gault Beyond A Reasonable Doubt, James Hillson Cohen

Michigan Law Review

Some of those who have studied the question of the appropriate standard of proof in juvenile proceedings have determined that the "preponderance of the evidence" standard-the standard applied in civil cases-is sufficient, and that the criminal standard should not be applied in such cases. Others have suggested that the standard-of proof question is unimportant since the particular standard which is required will seldom, if ever, make a difference to the outcome of a case. The first of these views is the subject to which the bulk of this Article is addressed; the second can be rebutted by the observation that …


Criminal Procedure For Juvenile Offenders In Ethiopia, Stanley Z. Fisher Jan 1970

Criminal Procedure For Juvenile Offenders In Ethiopia, Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this article is to set out, in summary fashion, the law concerning juvenile offenders in Ethiopia. Our focus will be on procedural rather than substantive aspects-insofar as it is possible to separate the two-and particularly upon the enforcement of constitutional guarantees in the process.


Due Process And The Juvenile Offender., Carlos Cadena Mar 1969

Due Process And The Juvenile Offender., Carlos Cadena

St. Mary's Law Journal

For over sixty years, courts consistently found notions of due process inapplicable in juvenile proceedings. The goal of the juvenile court movement was to establish systems of education and protection of errant children, rather than deterrence and retribution. To accomplish these results, the juvenile court was shorn of all resemblance to criminal courts. Public hearings were to be avoided and the intervention of counsel was not required, since the juvenile judge represented both the child and the state. However, it became clear that children were receiving the protection of the state because they engaged in criminal conduct and with little …

A Critical View Of The Uniform Crime Reports, Sophia M. Robison Apr 1966

A Critical View Of The Uniform Crime Reports, Sophia M. Robison

Michigan Law Review

No one would deny that the FBI performs a vital function in investigating, identifying, and tracking down suspects who may endanger the life, liberty, and property of Americans. However, this writer feels that the Uniform Crime Reports published by the FBI should be subjected to a very critical analysis. Of primary concern are the indiscriminate acceptance of the official data by legislators and social science investigators and the doubtful inferences which a frightened public draws from news releases proclaiming that "the U.S. is sitting on a seething volcano of crime."


The Juvenile Offender And Self-Incrimination, Rodger W. Pegues Apr 1965

The Juvenile Offender And Self-Incrimination, Rodger W. Pegues

Washington Law Review

A juvenile offender whose case has been transferred from juvenile court to criminal court may be confronted with incriminating statements which he made during the course of the juvenile proceedings. The admissibility in a criminal prosecution of confessions and admissions made by a juvenile to police, probation officers, juvenile court judges, or other juvenile authorities involves important issues of public policy and constitutional law. The problem typically arises when a youth of sixteen or seventeen commits an act which, were he an adult, would be characterized as a crime. The youth has a history of several juvenile offenses. He is …


Criminal Procedure - Jurisdiction - Juvenile Court's Right To Exclusive Jurisdiction Over A Contempt Proceeding Originally Initiated Against A Minor Child In A Court Of General Jurisdiction, Victor J. Gibbons S.Ed. Nov 1960

Criminal Procedure - Jurisdiction - Juvenile Court's Right To Exclusive Jurisdiction Over A Contempt Proceeding Originally Initiated Against A Minor Child In A Court Of General Jurisdiction, Victor J. Gibbons S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A seventeen-year-old minor sought a writ of prohibition against a circuit court to prevent it from enforcing a decree of contempt of court which resulted from her refusal to testify before a grand jury proceeding. She asserted that her refusal to testify was a public offense covered by the juvenile code, over which the juvenile court had exclusive jurisdiction. In an original proceeding, held, order of prohibition denied. The purpose of a direct contempt citation is to compel obedience to, and respect for, the court and not to punish for a public offense; consequently, because contempt is only quasi-criminal …


Criminal Law And Procedure - Extradition Of A Juvenile Delinquent, Felicia I. Hmiel Nov 1940

Criminal Law And Procedure - Extradition Of A Juvenile Delinquent, Felicia I. Hmiel

Michigan Law Review

The state of Georgia, by an acting justice of peace of a county, charged a thirteen-year-old boy with the crime of assault with intent to murder. Under the Georgia Criminal Code the offense was punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of two to ten years. The boy was found in the state of New York, whereupon the governor of Georgia sent a requisition for extradition to the governor of New York. The boy defendant brought a habeas corpus proceeding in a New York court to obtain release from custody under the extradition warrant. Held, the defendant …


State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock Nov 1931

State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock

Michigan Law Review

The Report on the Child Offender in the Federal System of Justice recommends the enactment of federal legislation which will provide means of utilizing the machinery of existing state juvenile courts where federal laws have been violated by children. The details of such legislation are not suggested in the Report. The legal questions to be encountered in the framing of such legislation call for careful consideration if full advantage is to be taken of the knowledge which the study made for the Commission furnishes. Some of the questions of more general interest will be taken as the subject of this …
