Juvenile Law In The Spotlight
A recent assault at the Shuman Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania brought the topic of juvenile law into the headlines. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08248/909281-53.stm. While this case deals with juveniles, who are already in the juvenile system, being charged with an assault on a correction officer, juvenile crime is far broader than just this sensational crime. Every weekend across the area within the city of Pittsburgh and local suburbs, teenagers go to parties where alcohol is served. Some get behind the wheel and are charged with DUI’s. Some are simply observed to be under the influence by police officers and charged with underaged drinking. Sometimes police officers request entrance into a person’s house to investigate underage drinking. Our criminal lawyers are often asked what happens to my son or daughter if they are charged with a crime? How does this impact their job search or college applications? Can you expunge the criminal records of a juvenile?
1-2-3 Law Group on the Making Law Easy show has tackled this topic in a free legal podcast.
