Imagine that you are an attorney specializing in juvenile justice cases. You receive a phone call
from Mrs. Ingrim, whose 15-year old has been arrested for stealing a car, driving without a
license, and finally crashing the car into a storefront. Mrs. Ingrim is distraught and
concerned that her child will be held in the county jail and abused. The maximum sentence that can
be assessed is 6 years in prison to a minimum of 200 hours of community service and 2 weeks in
the county’s boot camp program.
• How will you respond to Mrs. Ingrim? Provide a short narrative if necessary to demonstrate your
approach toward the client.
• What are the steps in the juvenile justice process that must be taken to defend Mrs. Ingrim’s
teenager? Provide the steps and how you would approach the situation to ensure that every step is
handled properly for this case.
• What are some of the differences between the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems? How
are the juvenile defendants handled differently from the adult defendants?
• If you were the judge, how would you judge and sentence this case, understanding that the 15-year old committed the crime described?
