“The
Juvenile Justice Clinic is the perfect bridge between the purely academic
setting of law school and the real-life rigors of trial advocacy. Although
the Juvenile Justice Clinic stresses mastery of the law and trial advocacy,
children are the ultimate concern--all else is a means to that end. It
is nice to have been involved with a program that takes pride in its product--the
betterment of children.”— Andre Pennington, CJLP Alumnus,
Class of 2006|
The LLS CJLP was founded with the goal of fostering systemic reform of the Los Angeles Juvenile Justice system through ongoing research, discussion, and advocacy. Through policy research and advocacy, the Center provides a voice for children and families involved in the Juvenile Justice System, and a point of convergence for students, faculty, stakeholders, and community members dedicated to the creation of a more humane and responsive justice system for children. Because sound and credible policy advice are driven by the real world experience of individuals in the court system, a central component of the Center is the Juvenile Justice Clinic.
