Program Description

The 14th amendment states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. In this amendment the Constitution defines a citizen of the United States and also defines the due process rights of all persons in the country, citizen or non-citizen. Why did the amendment provide legal protection to all persons and not just citizens? What are the implications of that in light of serious issues today regarding legal aliens, illegal immigration, and terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay? What questions and concerns does this raise to lawyers, federal officials and constitutional scholars today? How do we ensure due process and equal protection for all persons within our nation’s jurisdiction? What are the implications of trying to do so? In honor of Constitution Day 2009, we invite you and your students to join our panel of students, attorneys, and school officials for a fascinating conversation on these questions and others as we seek to better understand the Constitution and the important issues of citizenship, due process, and equal protection.

Program Description: The United States Constitution sets no age of majority for people in the United States to be adjudicated by our legal system. States establish that age, and in many instances those ages vary not only by state but also within a state for different activities. For example, juveniles may drive at 16, vote at 18, and drink alcohol at 21. What guidelines does the Constitution provide for evaluating our system of juvenile justice? What landmark cases have helped determine that point of view? What are the philosophical differences between our juvenile justice systems and our adult criminal court systems? What are due process rights for juveniles? How does one get certified as an adult by the court system? In honor of Constitution Day 2009, we invite you and your students to join our panel of students, attorneys, and school officials for a fascinating conversation on these questions and others as we seek to better understand the Constitution and the important issues of justice for juveniles.

Pre-Program Information—Prior to the program day, you will receive a copy of a Constitution Day Study Guide prepared by The Missouri Bar Association. The guide will include sample cases, Constitutional issues to consider, questions, worksheets and other activities designed to get your students thinking about the issues that will form the focus of the program.

Program Order—The videoconference program will consist of the following segments.

1. Welcome and Introduction—Student groups and experts will be introduced and welcomed to the program.

2. Who is a Juvenile?—This segment of the program will focus on a number of real-life scenarios related to the definition of a juvenile in our society and the Constitutional rights they have. Focus of the scenarios will be: ages of majority for certain conduct, free speech and privacy rights for juveniles Student questions, opinions and discussion will be woven in with expert opinion and discussion from members of the program’s panel.

3. How does the Juvenile Justice System Work?—This segment will utilize real-life scenarios on the structure, purpose and due process protections of America’s juvenile justice system. The focus of the scenarios will be: the philosophical foundation of juvenile justice systems and how that differs from our adult justice system, due process provisions for juveniles, situations necessitating certification of juveniles as adults, the certification process. Student questions, opinions and discussion will be woven in with expert opinion and discussion from members of the program’s panel.

4. Summary and Closing—We’ll summarize the major Constitutional implications of the program’s discussion and close the program.

Stefan is the author of international bestseller The Story of Forgetting.
