National Juvenile Defender Center

The National Juvenile Defender Center has created and continues to expand a network of juvenile defenders. We administer a number of email listservs to distribute information and encourage dialogue among attorneys who represent youth. Please fill out the form below if you would like to be added to a listserv.

JuvGeneral—This list is for anyone with an interest in juvenile justice issues, including defenders, prosecutors, judges, probation officers, academics, parents, students, and others. Members will receive periodic announcements of major news in the field of juvenile justice.
JuvDefend—This list is designed solely for juvenile defenders. Members will receive emails relating news of interest to those in the defense field, such as updates on cases or state reforms.
JuvDiscuss—This list provides a forum for defenders to discuss issues that arise in their daily practice or that have broader policy implications. Members can post questions or announcements to seek feedback from other juvenile defenders.
