The nation’s premier interdisciplinary clinic where law and public policy students team up to take on systemic racial, economic, and social injustice.
COVID-19 has created an unprecedented public health and economic crisis, and families with youth in the juvenile legal system are among the most vulnerable. States and local governments must take immediate action to mitigate harm and promote the economic and emotional resiliency of youth and families to weather the crisis.
