The Gault Case and Young People's Rights: Debating Supreme Court Decisions
No Customer Reviews
In 1968, fifteen-year-old Gerald Gault was accused by a neighbor of making an obscene phone call and was arrested. After a hearing in which he was not represented by an attorney or allowed to confront his accuser, Gerald was sentenced to juvenile prison until his twenty-first birthday. Author Laura Cohen explains how Gault's case made it through the courts, what the Supreme Court decided, and the impact this has had on children's rights. This book also includes a moot court exercise that will help readers understand the case and the workings of the court system.
