Symposia & Events
Cardozo Law Review sponsors one to two symposia and various lectures each year that delve into unique and intellectually stimulating areas of legal scholarship. Recent symposia and lecture topics have included: election law, immigration, comparative constitutionalism, and law and economics. Participants in these events rework their papers into articles that are published by the Law Review in dedicated issues of the print journal.
Symposium
Friday, April 19, 2013
Jacob Burns Moot Court Room
"In Search of Meaningful Systemic Justice for Adolescents in New York"
New York is one of only two states in the entire nation to set the age of criminal responsibility as low as sixteen. New York also permits the prosecution of children as young as thirteen automatically as adults pursuant to the Juvenile Offender Law. These laws, as well as the Youthful Offender statute, have a significant impact on shaping New York’s model of justice for minors.
Stakeholders in the youth justice court system have called for New York to raise the age for criminal responsibility from 16 to 18. There are a range of proposals for the implementation of such legislation each of which has wide ranging consequences for court and other institutions.
Some of the questions this symposium will explore are: What should be the approach to youth in the courts? Therapeutic or restorative justice? Punitive models? Are the cases best handled in Family Court? Criminal Courts? Problem Solving Courts? Is there a better model? How does raise the age affect disciplinary systems in New York’s schools? How does it affect police interaction with youth?
