In February, I attended a national convening on juvenile fines and fees at Berkeley Law School. Advocates from across the country discussed the disparate impact of court-imposed fines and fees, and how burdensome costs defeat the juvenile justice system\u2019s rehabilitative goals. As part of a nascent but dedicated movement, advocates explored how to build off successful reforms in Philadelphia<\/a> and California, including Philadelphia\u2019s decision to stop charging parents for the cost of their children\u2019s incarceration.<\/p>\n

The convening was especially valuable to me as a student because it provided a glimpse into the decision-making process for various advocacy options, ranging from impact litigation to community organizing and impact litigation. Being a part of the convening left me optimistic that advocates around the country can support each other\u2019s efforts to create a more just and rehabilitative juvenile justice system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
