Juvenile justice roundtables have been operating in some Massachusetts counties for ten years. District attorneys chair the roundtables; representatives from schools, DYS social services, police, probation and other state agencies may also be present. Students, their parents and advocates are excluded. The roundtables have been described as an opportunity to “enhance communication among those in the best position to identify early warning signals in children” and as “prosecutorial posses” that allow schools to act as extensions of law enforcement agencies. If you are a juvenile defense attorney, this is your invitation to finally participate.

Attend and Learn:
  • What is the history of the roundtables and the current legislation regarding roundtables?
  • Would you know if your client’s name has been mentioned at one and prosecuted because of it?
  • Learn how to challenge roundtable disclosure of your client’s special education files, DSS status and family life with hands-on materials including motions, memorandum of law and court tactics.
  • What happens, according to DA Reports, at a roundtable?
