Equal Justice University 2024

The presenter will address the risks faced by students in or at risk for DCS custody, whether by virtue of juvenile justice or dependency and neglect. The presenter will provide information about three areas of the law that attorneys can use to support student connection and success: Special education, school discipline (for general and special education students) and school stability. The session will close with a truly inspiring reminder from the young person in extension of foster care about the critical importance of our work.
