Article V Returns Under The Interstate Compact On Juveniles, Adrienne Volenik

Law Faculty Publications

The Interstate Compact on Juveniles provides the means by which a juvenile escapee or absconder can be returned to his state of origin with only a minimum of difficulty. Article V of the compact, which covers this situation, provides that the person or authority from whose probation or parole supervision a delinquent youth has absconded or from whose institutional custody he has escaped can make a written request for his return to the appropriate court or executive authority of the state where the youth is allegedly located.


Juvenile Court And Arrest Records, Adrienne Volenik Jan 1975

Juvenile Court And Arrest Records, Adrienne Volenik

Law Faculty Publications

Recognizing the near impossibility of changing societal views toward juvenile offenders, many legislators have at- tempted instead to combat the harmful effects of a delinquency adjudication by providing for concealment of juvenile records, on the grounds that such concealment will aid the child's reintegration into society.


Expungement Of Arrest Records, Adrienne Volenik Jan 1975

Expungement Of Arrest Records, Adrienne Volenik

Law Faculty Publications

Contrary to the philosophy of the juvenile court, it is undoubtedly a rare occasion when a child benefits from his exposure to the juvenile court system. Even when a child is actually rehabilitated by the process, the invidious effects that flow from being labeled a "juvenile delinquent" may serve to negate any benefit that he may have received. Perhaps the most unjustifiable of all side effects is the stigma that attaches to a child who has been arrested and subsequently either released without prosecution or acquitted. In a society that espouses the idea that an individual is innocent until proven …

Law Faculty Publications

Despite these suggestions, the problem of what constitutes adequate notice continues to plague juvenile courts.

Juvenile Law- Double Jeopardy

University of Richmond Law Review

Both the United States Constitution' and the Constitution of Virginia recognize the right of an individual to be protected against successive prosecutions for the same crime.

Right To Counsel In Virginia Juvenile Proceedings Jan 1969

Right To Counsel In Virginia Juvenile Proceedings

University of Richmond Law Review

The juvenile court, representing the parens patriae power of the state, was created in order to remove juveniles from the stigmatizing and punitive atmosphere of adult criminal courts. Divorced from this atmosphere, the juvenile court, by administering individualized justice' in an informal, civil-natured proceeding, could measure the juvenile's social maladjustment and subject him to state supervision in such a manner as to correct his delinquent attitude and lead him to a correct life. Many forums, however, have found that the functioning juvenile system inadequately promulgates the enlightened principles which led to its creation. Scholars have attacked the non-criminal label as …

Publicity In The Juvenile Court

University of Richmond Law Review

With few exceptions a public trial is granted, under the sixth amendment, to adults accused of crimes. Correspondingly, what takes place in the courtroom is generally held to be public property available for dissemination by the press. In juvenile proceedings, however, privacy has "typically been among the few unchallenged keynotes."

In an article in the October, 1966, issue of the American Bar Association Journal, Honorable Robert Gardner, Judge of the Superior Court of Orange County, Cali- fornia, directs the attention of the legal profession to the juvenile courts of this country and suggests corrective action in respect to various phases of the operation of these courts.

United States,; wherein by a 5 to 4 opinion that court found irregularity in the handling of a case in …
