Shepard Broad Law Professor Michael J. Dale
Shepard Broad Law Center Professor Michael J. Dale recently served as a panelist at the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review colloquium in Cambridge, MA, in conjunction with attorneys from The Juvenile Law Center of Philadelphia and Professor Martin Guggenheim of New York University Law School.

Florida and a Juvenile’s Right to Age Appropriate Sentencing” by Professor Guggenheim, “The United States Supreme Court Adopts a Reasonable Juvenile Standard in J.D.B. v. North Carolina for Purposes of the Miranda Custody Analysis: Can a More Reasoned Justice System for Juveniles Be Far Behind?” by Marsha Levick and Elizabeth-Ann Tierney, and “The Legal Significance of Adolescent Development on the Right to Counsel: Establishing the Constitutional Right to Counsel for Teens in Child Welfare Matters and Assuring a Meaningful Right to Counsel in Delinquency Matters” by Jennifer Pokempner, Riya Saha Shah, Mark Houldin, Professor Dale and Robert Schwartz.
