May 7: Disposition, Post-Disposition, and Probation

Advocacy at the disposition phase of a case can have a significant impact on the consequences of adjudication for a child. Effective representation requires knowing the range of dispositional options available under the law, including placement options, and the resources available within the local community. 
Child’s counsel must understand how risk assessments and evaluations are considered in developing dispositional recommendations and how conditions of probation must be tailored to the individual client. The ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with the child client in order to develop a dispositional plan is critical. 
This webinar will address these essential topics as well as provide a foundational understanding of how the probation system ideally functions and how this is relevant to the work of the juvenile defender. In addition, since the responsibilities of child’s counsel do not end at disposition, this webinar will address the juvenile defender’s responsibility to counsel the juvenile client on their right to appeal and provide continued advocacy at all review or revocation hearings.
