Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
In the past year, several significant developments affecting children and the legal system have occurred: first, the General Assembly's enactment of Family Court legislation introduced under the auspices of the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Judicial Council; second, the reaffirmation of the Comprehensive Services Act, a state-wide, community-based, inter-agency system of delivering services to children, youth and their families; third, the adoption of a number of bills which address the growing problem of violence by juveniles; and fourth, an increasing number of decisions concerning transfer of juveniles to the circuit courts to be tried as adults, which also reflects …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
Three events in the past year significantly impacted the way the legal system treats children. First, the family court experiment being conducted under the auspices of the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Judicial Council was concluded. Second, the General Assembly established a state-wide, community-based, inter-agency system to deliver services to children and youth. Third, the Virginia Supreme Court promulgated the first set of statewide rules governing proceedings in juvenile and domestic relations district courts. The year's other developments were not as systemic or far reaching as those above, although recommendations flowing from the Youth Services Commission's' legislatively-mandated study of …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The past year was considerably more tranquil than recent years with regard to legal developments involving children. For example, there were no major United States Supreme Court decisions directly affecting children, and the 1991 Virginia General Assembly's actions impacted on children mainly through budget cuts and the disappointing abolition of the Department for Children - a result of those cuts. Virginia's child labor laws were extensively revised in 1991, but few of these revisions will make a noticeable difference in the work relationships of the state's youth because they largely conform state law to existing federal law. Finally, legislation was …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The past few years of legal developments involving children have been marked in part by an increase in the number of major decisions from the United States Supreme Court which have had a direct impact on children. Some of those decisions have had a very dramatic effect, as noted in previous surveys, such as juvenile death penalty cases, cases addressing issues involving abused or neglected children, an opinion defining the associational rights of children, two cases further extending the rights of illegitimate children, decisions addressing the educational rights of handicapped children, and three important decisions narrowing the first amendment and …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The past year was significant on several fronts where delinquency was concerned. The General Assembly responded positively to fifteen years of advocacy for a separate administrative agency to deal with delinquent youths. There were several important Virginia decisions governing the transfer process in an era of growing concern about serious offenses by juveniles, and the Supreme Court of the United States brought some closure to constitutional attacks on the death penalty for minors.

This article last year noted the disturbing increase in the number of reported cases involving individuals prosecuted for the sexual abuse of children, and the persistence of legislative efforts to address the profound difficulties encountered by young children called as witnesses in those cases. This year, the General Assembly finally yielded to the urgings of those seeking changes in the law, and to the recommendations of a joint legislative subcommittee created in 1987 to study the problem of child abuse victims as witnesses in the courtroom. The subcommittee recommended the enactment of four bills in an effort to minimize the …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The most notable development this past year in the area of juvenile delinquency and noncriminal misbehavior was the passage by the Virginia General Assembly of legislation modifying the state's response to status offenses committed by children. Ever since the adoption of the revised juvenile code in 1977 there have been efforts at practically every session of the Assembly to modify the provisions which prohibit the commitment of status offenders to secure institutions, but the efforts were not successful. However, the 1987 bill met with little resistance in the legislature. The 1987 legislation, effective July 1, 1988, does two very significant …

After unusual activity at both the federal and state levels in the previous year, this past year was a relatively uneventful one where the law of juvenile delinquency was concerned. The historic jail removal legislation enacted at the 1985 session of the Virginia General Assembly became fully effective on July 1, 1986. The provisions of this legislation severely limit the use of an adult jail for juvenile detention purposes and completely ban the dispositional use of such a facility for juveniles.

Meet The New Juvenile And Domestic Relations District Court, Ingrid Michelsen Hillinger
Meet The New Juvenile And Domestic Relations District Court, Ingrid Michelsen Hillinger
University of Richmond Law Review
Without trumpet or even modest fanfare, the 1981 Virginia General Assembly passed two new subsections to Title 16.1 of the Code of Virginia, amending the jurisdiction of the juvenile and domestic relations district courts (hereinafter cited as J & DR). Despite their uncontroversial passage, they portend significant changes for the J & DR court and the circuit court as well, and have generated surprise and bewilderment among the J & DR court judges. This article explores the meaning of the amendments and their longterm implications.
Outpatient Mental Health Care Services - A Minor's Right, John V. Cogbill Iii
Outpatient Mental Health Care Services - A Minor's Right, John V. Cogbill Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
The 1979 Session of the General Assembly made important changes in Title 54 of the Code of Virginia pertaining to health care for minors. One of the principal changes involved the right of unemancipated minors to seek outpatient treatment for mental health problems without the consent of their parents. Additionally, lawmakers deleted the criminal sanctions imposed against medical practitioners who performed authorized abortions on consenting minors. This bill appears to bring into Virginia a partial realization of a child's right to due process and equal protection under the law.

Children And The Law - Foreword, Birch Bayh
University of Richmond Law Review
As a parent, legislator, and former Chairman of the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency, the problems of the youth of our nation are very close to my heart. I think that raising a young person is one of the most difficult and important challenges that a person can ever face. Our collective success or failure in raising young people actually determines the future of the country. Happy, secure and well-educated youth will be effective, productive and useful citizens. Young people who have been beaten, starved, or deprived of love have accounted for the major portion of …

The Revision Of Virginia's Juvenile Court Law, Lelia Baum Hopper, Frank M. Slayton
University of Richmond Law Review
Since 1899, the year in which the state of Illinois established a separate statutory framework for addressing the problems of children before the courts, the juvenile justice system has been struggling to establish its identity in the jurisprudence of the United States. The juvenile court laws of this country, including those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, have historically been based on the doctrine of "parens patriae", which is formally defined as the "sovereign power of guardianship over persons under disability."' According to this doctrine, the state, through the court system, can be trusted to fulfill its obligation with respect to …
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. While the concept of double jeopardy is rooted in the English common law and early case law of the United States, it has been predominant in the criminal law, and has gained little acceptance in the area of juvenile law, which has been regarded as a civil proceeding.
Right To Counsel In Virginia Juvenile Proceedings
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
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." Characteristic of the juvenile court system have been procedures aimed at maintaining the anonymity of juvenile offenders.

The Kent Case And Juvenile Courts In Virginia, Kermit V. Rooke
University of Richmond Law Review
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. His concern and immediate anxiety were occasioned by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Morris A. Kent v. United States,; wherein by a 5 to 4 opinion that court found irregularity in the handling of a case in …
