This is the second part of a two part piece on training and resource needs for California juvenile delinquency counsel. In this part, juvenile defense counsel describe their resource and training needs, which are substantial. The information was obtained through surveys conducted as part of the MacArthur Foundation’s JUvenile Indigent Deense Action Network. YLC led the California team in that initiative, which aimed to increase the capacity of juvenile defensers to do their work well.. Part one describes the importance of having skilled and knowledgeable counsel; it is posted separately in the resource library.
