Intersection of Juvenile Defense, From School-Based Offenses to Youthful Offenders

1.0 Total CLE Hrs





Two highly experienced criminal defense lawyers, Karen Faulkner and Rebecca Ballard DiLoreto will share their skills and strategies with us in a one hour training devoted to the representation of youth in juvenile court. Areas of focus will include school-based charges and address youthful offender charges in juvenile court before transfer to circuit court, building defenses based on competency, capacity, special education disabilities, and the impact of adverse childhood experiences. We will also discuss how to push cases back to diversion and the value to a client of early legal representation to secure diversion, dismissal and a stronger defense on those cases that go to juvenile court, as well as the importance of integrating the family in the defense process.

Co-Chair of the KACDL Legislative Committee, DiLoreto served previously as the KACDL President for two years, chaired the Education Committee  for four years and also served for four years as KACDL Legislative Agent. DiLoreto began her assessment of victim’s rights in law school researching the topic for Professor Sarah N.
