International Legal Note: Opening juvenile proceedings to the public and the media: An international social work perspective.
Description
International legal note
Abstract
Across the globe countries differ on the preferred standard for access to
juvenile proceedings for the public and media. Should there be a presumption that juvenile court
proceedings are open? If so, should all juvenile proceedings be open or just some? Should
there be a distinction between criminal and civil matters? How do we balance the public's desire
for openness with a juvenile defendant's right to a fair trial and desire for confidentiality?
As social workers, should the profession take a stand on this issue?
