Forty years ago, In re Gault declared that children in the
juvenile justice system have the right to an attorney - a
promise that remains unfulfilled for many youth. NJDC's
Gault at 40 Campaign seeks to fulfill this promise.

As part of the Gault at 40 Campaign, NJDC is conducting KnowYour Rights Nights for youth across the country. For more information on Rights Nights and the Gault at 40 Campaign, please visit www.gaultat40.info.
